Students in Concurrent Enrollment
Concurrent Enrollment allows high school students to take a Winona State University course at their high school during the regular school day.
Although the course is offered in a high school setting, it is a college-level course with college-level expectations. Students who successfully complete the course earn both high school credit and college credit from Winona State University.
How to Apply
To join the Concurrent Enrollment program, you’ll need to work with your high school guidance
There are no minimum GPA requirements or other pre-requisites for students. Your high school will determine if you are ready for college-level coursework in a concurrent enrollment class.
There is no application form for high school students to submit. Your high school counselor will provide your enrollment details to Winona State.
Concurrent Enrollment Courses
High schools choose which courses are available to students. Your high school may not offer all of these course options.
