Dual Credit (held in a high school location or via IDLA) & Concurrent Enrollment (held online or on the CEI campus)
College of Eastern Idaho recognizes the value and demand for providing qualified high school students with the opportunity to earn college credit prior to high school graduation. Academic and CTE course options are available. CEI considers high school students to be one of its important constituent groups and considers Early College Programs an important part of its outreach effort.
Early College students are responsible for meeting qualifications and deadlines set by the program. They are also responsible for adherence to student code of conduct rules, the outcome of their coursework and final grades. High school students enrolled with CEI are charged a reduced tuition rate. Tuition assistance through the State of Idaho Advanced Opportunities program is available to students who qualify, and may be used for Concurrent Enrollment courses, Dual Credit courses, some exams, and approved Workforce Training Programs. Program rules and restrictions apply. No federal financial assistance is available for Concurrent or Dual Credit courses.
Early College students have access to student services including key elements for success such as: academic advisement, library services, and tutoring services. When CEI courses are complete, it is the student’s responsibility to request and pay for official transcripts as needed. Early College students are considered non-matriculated (non-degree seeking) while in high school. Credits are transcribed on a permanent college transcript.
Enrollment Prior to High School Graduation
Early College Programs
Concurrent Enrollment/Dual Credit
Admission into CEI Early College Programs requires completion of an online application. Once admitted, students may participate in a variety of course delivery options by submitting a Registration Request Form each term they wish to enroll in a course. Students may enroll in up to (10) credit hours of college work per semester. Students must comply with program requirements including minimum eligibility, deadlines and placement requirements for specific courses. High school students enrolled with CEI are charged a reduced tuition rate of $75 per credit. No federal financial assistance is available for Concurrent or Dual Credit courses, however, State of Idaho Advanced Opportunities funding is available to eligible Idaho students. When CEI courses are completed, it is the student’s responsibility to request and pay for official or unofficial transcripts as needed. Further instructions can be found on the CEI website.
Dual Credit courses take place at a high school location or via IDLA, and are taught by CEI approved instructors. Courses follow the schedules at the location where they are being taught. Deadlines apply. High school students are allowed to participate in dual credit courses if they meet the eligibility requirements set forth by the Early College Department.
Concurrent Enrollment courses take place at CEI or through CEI online, and are taught by CEI faculty. High school students must be sixteen (16) years of age or older by the first day of class in the term for which they are enrolling. High School students are allowed to participate in concurrent enrollment courses if they meet the eligibility requirements set forth by the Early College Department.
Technical Competency Credit
If a student was enrolled in CTE Technical Competency Credit (TCC) programs in high school they may be eligible to receive college credit for courses in which they successfully passed all required skill sets and the post-secondary final exam when applicable. In order for a student to request their TCC they must use the official Technical Credit Request form available on College of Eastern Idaho’s website. The cost is $10 per credit. Technical Competency Credits will be transcribed as college transfer credit. These credits must be requested within two (2) years of the completion of eligible course(s) or post-secondary final exam when applicable. Once Technical Competency credits are transcribed they may not be removed from the official transcript.
