Concurrent enrollment (accelerated) courses provides high school students the opportunity to take college-credit bearing courses taught by college-approved high school teachers. Essentially, Early College High School Online brings accelerated courses to students in urban, suburban, and rural high schools. Students gain exposure to the academic challenges of college while in their supportive high school environment, earning college credit which simultaneously counts towards high school credit as well. For this reason, concurrent courses are sometimes called dual credit and dual enrollment. Our program allows students to take courses from a college instructor via distance education. Be aware that all students need one class at a boundary school in order to sign up for concurrent courses. We have articulation agreements with regional universities who retroactively assign credit for high school coursework upon matriculation. We greatly value our concurrent enrollment partnerships with regional universities. Our concurrent courses are accredited by Southern Utah University (SUU) and Dixie State University (DSU). Monitoring Student Progress The Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) Early College High School Online gives parents the opportunity to monitor their student's progress in all courses through our own Canvas Learning Management System. The Canvas LMS is easy to navigate and provides an informative way for parents to check progress. We also instruct all courses and manage all student progress on Canvas LMS. Canvas LMS provides parents with complete information on, *Assignments *Exams *Important Dates *Grades *Assessments Please note that Dixie State University and Southern Utah University also use their own Canvas LMS. However, all concurrent courses will be instructed on our Canvas LMS through agreement with DSU and SUU.
