Concurrent Enrollment
As a part of our college and career going culture, your child has the opportunity to apply for enrollment in college courses at Front Range Community College (FRCC) while attending high school in Mapleton. Concurrent enrollment supports our commitment to providing each student with rigorous academic content, enrichment opportunities, and access to academic courses beyond what is available in high school.
To ensure no obstacle impedes your child’s success, Mapleton Public Schools pays the tuition for district approved college courses successfully completed by the student. Your child may also receive high school credit toward graduation requirements for successful completion of approved postsecondary courses.
Qualifications
To participate in concurrent enrollment, students must request approval from their School Director and Post-Secondary Options Coach (PSOC).
To qualify for concurrent enrollment, students must:
- Be less than 21 years of age
