CE Counselor Starter Pack

Concurrent enrollment allows high school students to earn both college and high school credit for college courses offered at their high school. Credits can be transferred to most other accredited colleges and universities in the United States. Concurrent enrollment instructors use Boise State curriculum, books, and grading scales to create a true university experience for students.

In 1998, Idaho Legislature established the Dual Credit—Concurrent Enrollment Program with the goal of providing a seamless way for high school students to get a head start on their college career at an affordable cost. Concurrent Enrollment credits are offered at the reduced rate of $75 per credit.

You may also hear concurrent enrollment referred to as dual enrollment, dual credit, concurrent credit, or early college.

The Idaho Advanced Opportunities (AO) Program provides $4,625 in state funding to Idaho public school students and $2,500 to Idaho private school students attending an accredited private school to pay for dual credit courses, overload and workforce training courses, and exams.  Students must complete course registration with Boise State AND apply for funding through the Idaho Advanced Opportunities website. Students work closely with their high school counselor to submit their funding requests each semester.
