Pathway to Affordability: Annual Report on Concurrent Enrollment in Colorado
Colorado Department of Higher Education
Colorado, like other states across the country, utilizes dual enrollment as a strategy to cultivate seamless P-20 pathways and increase credential completion. Dual enrollment programs provide high school students with the opportunity to enroll in college-level courses, simultaneously earning both high school and college credit, often at greatly reduced costs. Local Education Providers (LEPs) participating in the state's Concurrent Enrollment program typically cover the student's tuition expenses up to the resident community college tuition rate. These programs help students develop the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to be postsecondary education- and workforce-ready. Research indicates that Concurrent Enrollment students are more likely to enroll and persist in college and are less likely to need remedial education once in college. Colorado Department of Higher Education (CDHE) and Colorado Department of Education (CDE) have prepared this report pursuant to statute (C.R.S. ยง22-35-112). The data, collected through the CDHE Student Unit Record Data System (SURDS) unless noted otherwise, provide a descriptive summary of students in Colorado's public education system who participated in dual enrollment programs in the 2018-2019 school year. [For the previous year's report, see ED597821.]
