What’s the difference between Concurrent Enrollment and Advanced Placement?
Concurrent Enrollment students are admitted as college students and registered for classes at SLCC. They earn their grades by completing assignments and taking tests during the course. Grades are recorded on a permanent SLCC transcript. There is a one-time admission application fee, and then students may take up to 20 Concurrent Enrollment credit hours per semester. Concurrent Enrollment courses apply to degrees at SLCC. Application of the courses at other institutions is determined by the other institutions. Advanced Placement students must obtain qualifying scores on the AP test at the end of the year to get college credit. Each AP test costs approximately $80. AP test scores may be sent to multiple colleges and universities. Each college or university determines the number of credit hours awarded for each AP test, and which scores qualify for college credit..
