Concurrent Enrollment

Concurrent Enrollment

Get a head start on college credits! 

What is Concurrent Enrollment? Students who are concurrently enrolled are simultaneously attending their education program while earning credits at Butte College that can be used to fulfill high school and college certificate, transfer, or graduation requirements. Enrollment and service fees are waived; however, course material fees and textbooks are not waived.

Why should I concurrently enroll? Concurrent enrollment is an amazing opportunity for you to earn college credits early while saving money – yes, your tuition is free! It allows you to explore new subjects, kickstart your college journey, and explore potential career paths – all with flexible scheduling to suit your needs. So, why wait? Grab this chance to accelerate your education and future success.

Who can participate? Any student that is currently: 1) Enrolled in high school (or lower grade); 2) Pursing a high school diploma or equivalent; or 3) Attending a noncredit or adult education program.
