Concurrent Enrollment (CE)
-
Smoky Hill offers numerous Concurrent Enrollment credit courses in the Cherry Creek School District. Educators who are endorsed in both college and 6-12 academic institutions teach concurrent enrollment courses. Upon approval and successful completion, students will receive college-level credit and meet high school graduation requirements. Some courses are designed to lead to certifications in a content area. In partnership with our greater community, we are an extended campus of the Community College of Aurora and Arapahoe Community College.
Enrollment in CCA and ACC happens within the first two weeks of the semester of the course at Smoky Hill. In order to be eligible for college credit, a student must apply to the college, as well as complete an agreement and any prerequisites.
