Concurrent enrollment allows high school students to take college courses while still enrolled in high school. Students earn both high school and college credits for these courses. Parents can find more information about the College Connections program in the Concurrent Enrollment Program Student and Parent Handbook.

• Advanced Learning: Students are challenged with college-level coursework.
• Cost Savings: College credits earned in high school can reduce future college tuition.
• College Readiness: Helps students prepare academically for college.

Students must meet certain eligibility requirements, which may include a minimum GPA, standardized test scores, and approval from their high school counselor. Students will also need to complete an Eastern Iowa Community Colleges (EICC) application. Students can apply at eicc.edu/apply

Yes, concurrent enrollment courses are college-level courses taught by EICC-approved instructors. These courses follow the college syllabus, grading scale, and student expectations.

Through Iowa legislation the school district is responsible for the cost of enrollment for all concurrent courses, and textbooks. Students should check with their school district to confirm the course registration will count for high school credit. If a student wishes to take classes that are not contracted through the school district and college, then the student pays out of pocket costs for the course.

Most accredited colleges and universities accept concurrent enrollment credits from EICC, but it’s important to check with the specific institution your student plans to attend after high school to confirm credit transfer policies.

• Seek Help Early: Encourage your student to ask for help from their instructors, utilize tutoring services, and connect with their Concurrent Enrollment Advisor and/or College & Career Transition Counselor (CCTC).
• Communicate: Stay in contact with the Concurrent Enrollment Advisor and/or College & Career Transition Counselor and high school counselors for additional resources and support.

Yes, but it's essential to balance academic and extracurricular commitments. Time management and prioritizing responsibilities are crucial for success in both areas. Concurrent courses are college classes, and it is up to the student to communicate with their instructor if they need to miss class. Lack of communication can result in grade penalties.

Your student’s high school counselor is a great resource for information about concurrent enrollment. Additionally, you can connect with the Concurrent Enrollment Advisor and/or College and Career Transition Counselor (CCTC) located in the high school.

Course availability varies by school district but often includes general education classes like English, Math, and Science, as well as Career Technical Education elective courses that might align with a student's interests and future career goals.

Check the EICC Concurrent website for information on which classes are offered at your school district: eicc.edu/ConcurrentHS

Yes! Online concurrent courses are available through College Connections Individual Registration (CCIR). Talk with your student’s high school counselor for available online course options. EICC offers many online courses, providing flexibility for students to complete coursework around their high school schedules and other commitments.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. When a student begins attending a college or university, regardless of age, FERPA rights transfer from the parents to the student. This means that college students, including those concurrently enrolled, have the right to control who has access to their educational records. Faculty may not share how a student is progressing in class without written consent from the student.

As a parent, you will not have automatic access to your student’s college records without their written consent. However, your student can sign a FERPA release form allowing you access to their academic information. Have your student contact their Concurrent Enrollment Advisor and/or CCTC for more information on the record release form eicc.edu/FERPA
