Concurrent Enrollment

The Concurrent Enrollment program is a partnership between Metropolitan Community College and high school districts throughout the greater Omaha area. Concurrent Enrollment allows high school students to earn high school and college credit at the same time. Classes are taught in high school classrooms, by an MCC-approved high school faculty member, during the regular academic year.

Concurrent Enrollment courses are MCC credit classes taught in a high school classroom environment. Both high school and college credits are earned through Concurrent Enrollment and are based on a student’s cumulative performance and will appear on a student’s high school transcript and MCC transcript. It's important to remember that the grades earned while taking a college credit course will count toward the student's college grade point average (GPA) and will be a permanent part of their postsecondary transcript.

MCC credits earned may transfer to other colleges or universities. To learn about transferability at local four-year colleges, view our Transfer Partners.

  • It is the responsibility of the student to comply with all standards set forth in the course syllabus.
  • If a student under the age of 18 is enrolled in both a high school and a postsecondary institution, the parents still retain the right under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) at the high school, however, the postsecondary rights belong to the student. Students who wish to grant parental or 3rd party access to their educational records may do so by submitting an Authorization to Release Student Information form to the Records Office after course registration is complete.

Current Nebraska High School students, grades 9-12, are automatically eligible to take credit classes tuition free. Students in the ninth grade become eligible for the tuition waiver during the MCC Fall quarter. Students are responsible for tools, textbooks, and any other associated course fees..

At the start of each semester, students can obtain registration forms from their high school counselor or Secondary Partnerships staff.
