What is concurrent enrollment?
Concurrent enrollment allows a high school student to earn both high school and college credit through a college-level course offered in partnership with the student’s school.
How is concurrent enrollment different from dual enrollment?
Concurrent enrollment courses count for both high school and college credit. Dual enrollment generally refers to courses taken for college credit only, although a high school may separately determine whether a dual enrollment course can also satisfy a high school requirement.
This page focuses on school-based concurrent enrollment partnerships. Students may also enroll directly in selected JBU online courses for college credit.
What qualifications must our instructors have?
JBU reviews proposed instructors based on the subject area and university academic requirements. Schools should be prepared to provide graduate transcripts, a résumé or curriculum vitae and any additional materials requested during the review process.
An instructor must be approved by JBU before teaching a JBU concurrent enrollment course.
What courses can our school offer?
Course availability depends on instructor qualifications, alignment with JBU curriculum, approval by the appropriate academic department and JBU’s capacity to support the course.
The Academic Partnerships team will work with your school to identify options that fit your academic program and available instructors.
Who pays tuition?
Tuition and billing responsibilities are established through the partnership agreement and may vary by school, state, course model and available funding.
JBU will explain applicable tuition rates, funding opportunities and payment responsibilities before the agreement is finalized.
How long does it take to establish a partnership?
Timing depends on the courses being proposed, instructor approval and the agreement process. Contact JBU as early as possible before the term in which you hope to begin offering courses.
