Special Admission Programs Concurrent Enrollment The Weber State University Concurrent Enrollment Program allows eligible high school juniors and seniors to fulfill both high school and university graduation requirements at the same time by attending WSU-app roved high school classes taught by WSUapproved teachers. These classes match the WSU course content and student performance criteria. These students, though not officially matriculated at WSU, still create a WSU official permanent transcript. WSU academic department representatives work closely with these teachers to provide professional development opportunities as well as to assure WSU standards are maintained. The state of Utah provides a funding allocation that enables students to participate without having to pay tuition. Fo r up da ted info rm a tio n, vis it vjeb er. edu / c o n cu rren t.
