About the Program

What is Concurrent Enrollment?

Concurrent enrollment allows qualified high school juniors and seniors to take college-level courses at Technical College of the Rockies while still completing their high school diploma. Students earn real, transferable college credit at no tuition cost, giving them a significant head start on their career or postsecondary education.

Programs are hands-on, industry-aligned, and taught by the same credentialed instructors who train our full-time students. Whether you’re exploring a career path or ready to commit to a trade, concurrent enrollment is one of the most valuable opportunities available to Colorado high school students.
