Concurrent Enrollment/College Credit Courses

Lincoln Concurrent Enrollment/College Credit Courses

Lincoln High School is pleased to be partnering with UWSP to offer concurrent enrollment options. Successful completion of concurrent enrollment courses will result in students earning Lincoln High School credit while at the same time earning college credit on a UWSP transcript. UWSP courses offered through LHS are guaranteed to be transferable to any of the UW four-year college campuses. In addition, UWSP courses may transfer to any other higher education institution that typically accepts University of Wisconsin credits.

UWSP concurrent enrollment courses are challenging college level courses taught in high school. The benefits of taking UWSP courses in high school are numerous: students are better prepared for college, students save money and time, and students have the option of taking the class for high school credit only or for a combination of high school and college credit. On the other hand, students who struggle could possibly start college on academic probation.

Any junior or senior may take a concurrent enrollment course for high school credit if they meet the college requirement to take the class. To receive transcripted college credit for the class, a student must complete the following steps: 

• Register for the course at LHS. 
• Complete the UWSP application to take the course and meet the required prerequisites. Admission offices will consider the following to see if you’re ready to succeed in college classes.
  • Rank in class 
  • Grade point average 
  • ACT or SAT scores 
  • Rigor of your high school courses 
  • Letters of recommendation 
• Pay UWSP tuition rate for concurrent enrollment, which has been approximately half the cost of a typical UWSP course. Rates for the 22-23 school year were $99/credit. Most of our UWSP classes are 3-5 credits so the cost ranges were $297-$495 per course. The cost for the class, and ordering of transcripts is the responsibility of the student/ parent. 
• Successfully complete the concurrent enrollment course. 
• Order transcripts from UWSP and send them to the college the student will be attending.

For the 2023-2024 school year, LHS will be offering the following concurrent enrollment classes: 

• College English 101 (3 credit course) 
• College English 102 (3 credit course) 
• Physics 101 (5 credit course) 
• World History 1500 (3 credit course)
