Concurrent Enrollment (CE)
Concurrent enrollment classes are college classes. Students enroll at Salt Lake Community College, and take the class at Granger from a college certified teacher. There is a one-time enrollment fee with the college of $40. Once enrolled, students can take as many CE classes as they want without paying the enrollment fee. The classes are just $5 per a credit. Students will also be responsible for obtaining their textbooks for the class. CE classes are just like being at college. The grades received in these classes will go on a student's permanent college transcript and on a high school transcript. Credits earned through the CE classes are more easily used and transferred than the other classes when attending a university or college.
