CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT / LIVE INTERACTIVE

CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT / LIVE INTERACTIVE

Concurrent Enrollment courses are a great benefit to ALA students.

Students can experience college coursework in a controlled environment designed for high school students, as well as save time and money. Courses can be taken dually for high school and college credit. 

Credits will be issued on both an ALA high school transcript, as well as a Utah Valley University transcript. All college bound students are encouraged to take concurrent enrollment coursework before graduation. Students also have the opportunity to complete an AA/AS degree if they choose.

Cost to the student is a one-time UVU registration fee of $35 and a $5 per credit fee for each class.


ALA offers students two ways to obtain college credit 

(please be advised that requirements and enrollment processes vary by program):

1. Concurrent Enrollment (CE) Courses

2. Live Interactive (EdNet)
