<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060">I just want to remind schools about talking with your students regarding Concurrent enrollment. Concurrent enrollment is a very good idea for a variety of reasons; however, each
student should be warned about possible ramifications. Here are just a <i>few</i> things: The work is
<i>totally</i> different from high school - their semester grade could possibly come from only 2 tests, that grade follows them to college and beyond; they need to know how to study, learn to work on their own(disciplined) and be responsible; if they make below
a 2.0 GPA in their concurrent college course, they cannot take another concurrent college course during high school-just to name a few.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060">I have highlighted the portion regarding
<i>Continuing Concurrent Enrollment</i> in our policy, page 4, since students will be wanting to enroll in concurrent courses next semester if they are a junior; please share this with parents and students.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060">Classes taken concurrently may not effect scholarships but they likely will effect Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). Students must be cautioned about poor grades or poor completion
rates in these classes. If a student gets a “D” in one course, that grade will follow them and they may find themselves in a probationary financial aid status immediately upon becoming a regular college student; they will need to speak with the financial
aid office at the college of their choice.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
