MathOnline through UCCS

MathOnline allows qualified high school students to enroll for credit in UCCS courses without having to physically be on campus. This program is specifically for students who are very advanced in mathematics and no longer have math courses available to them at the high school level. Most MathOnline courses run synchronous to the corresponding math courses (Fall and Spring semesters). This means that students are given access to the course through a dual video feed, one that captures the whiteboard and the other that focuses on the entire front of the class. This gives a very realistic feeling to the lectures. Students can attend lectures virtually in real time or watch the recording at their convenience.

Please note that there is an out-of-pocket cost for students who enroll in MathOnline courses. D20 will pay the community college rate per credit hour for MathOnline courses, but the difference between that tuition rate and the UCCS tuition is the responsibility of students and families. In addition, families are responsible for any books and fees.

Student and Parent/Guardian Concurrent and/or Dual Enrollment Agreement

B. Students are expected to maintain full-time status while enrolled in a D20 high school and participating in concurrent and/or dual enrollment. This may be accomplished through a combination of high school and college courses Students participating in college courses must enroll in a minimum number of high school courses in each semester during which they participate in CE or DE. These minimums are: 9^th grade, 6 classes; 10^th and 11^th grades, 4 classes; and 12^th grade, 2 classes.

C. The student must apply for the College Opportunity Fund (COF) before enrolling in concurrent enrollment. This can be done online at https://cof.college-assist.org/.

D. The student must authorize use of his or her COF stipend for all eligible credits. College-level credits used will be deducted from the Student’s COF lifetime account.  D20 will not pay tuition that could be covered by COF, so students who fail to apply for this stipend may be billed by the college or university.

E. The student must meet the same prerequisites and course expectations as all other college students in a course, as noted in the institution of higher education’s catalog and the course syllabus. If a student is approved for a course or sequence of courses but is subsequently unable to meet prerequisites at the college or university, the student’s approval is presumed to be rescinded. The student may not simply enroll in a different course for which qualifications are met unless prior approval is received via a course change request.

F. Grades earned in college courses taken through concurrent or dual enrollment will appear on the student’s official high school and college transcript each semester, and all college courses will impact HS GPA as outlined in policy IKAA R.

G. Courses that the student completes at the college or university will be weighted on the student’s high school transcript if they meet the following criteria:

-The student completed the course with a “C” or better

-The course is worth at least 3 credit hours

-The course is on the guaranteed transfer list for the state of Colorado, or is offered by a 4-year university partner (UCCS or MSU Denver)

H. College course credits may transfer in congruence with Colorado Guaranteed Transfer (GT) Pathways or articulation agreements if the student earns a “C” or better in the course.  It is the responsibility of students and families to research transferability.

I. If the student seeks to add, drop, or withdraw from a college course, he or she must meet with the high school counselor, submit the Concurrent/Dual Enrollment Course Change Request Form, and complete the drop/withdrawal process at the college or university. Only courses approved through the initial application or the Course Change Request process will be sponsored. If a student enrolls in any class that is not approved by D20, the course will not be sponsored, and the student/family will be responsible for any tuition, fees, or other expenses.

J. If the student receives a grade of D or F or withdraws from a course after the college drop deadline the D/F/WF grade will appear on the student’s high school and college transcripts.

K. Students who receive a D, F, or W in a college course may not be eligible to continue with district-sponsored college coursework in subsequent semesters.

L. The student is responsible for applying for admission with the college, registering for college courses, and monitoring progress.
