What is Concurrent Enrollment?
Concurrent Enrollment programs allow qualified high school students grades 9th-12th to enroll in FRCC college classes for both high school and college credit for free. Tuition, textbooks, and student fees are paid by the school district or charter school and the student’s stipend College Opportunity Fund. Students must earn a C or better to receive college credits.
