Concurrent Enrollment

General Considerations

**Always discuss your individual situations with a Pre-Health Counselor and your concurrent enrollment advisor

• Every college class counts!

  Schools will evaluate your grades in concurrent enrollment classes you took in high school. Retakes may not repair a damaged GPA.

• Graduating with an AS degree may not save you time.

  Many concurrent enrollment students choose (or are limited to) courses that do not fulfill Pre-Health pre-requisites, which means the classes they took in high school do not move them closer to finishing their Pre-Health requirements.

• Plan on attending UVU for 3-6 years, even if you graduate high school with an AS degree.

  Pre-requisites take time and must be completed in careful sequence to prepare you for entrance examinations and successful progress.

• English (or a high English placement score) is a pre-requisite for Biology.

  Which is a pre-requisite  for many other science courses.

• Math can be a great choice for concurrent enrollment.

  Plan on needing at least College Algebra (MATH 1050), and potentially through calculus.  Math is a pre-requisite  for many science courses.

  **Talk to your Pre-Health counselor about math if you plan to go on a mission.

• Avoid Meteorology or Astronomy (for example) as General Elective science options.

  Stick with pre-requisites as your science GE’s. After all, you’ll have more than enough science.

• Remember to register for your freshman classes (fall semester) in early April.  

  If you wait until after you graduate, you will likely struggle to get the courses you need.

• AP credit may not fulfill pre-requisites. 

  Many schools need a letter grade to calculate pre-requisite GPAs and not just credit. Verify with your schools of choice if your AP credit will count as a 

  pre-requisite.
