NOTE: Concurrent students are limited to enrolling in seven credit hours, including college courses taken on the NWACC campus and at your high school. The student may request a waiver to take more than seven credit hours.
An appeal to the NWACC Vice President for Learning may be submitted by those students who have a grade point average slightly below 3.0 and/or would like to take more than seven (7) college credit hours during a given semester. A high school student may also appeal a grade received in order to continue in the Concurrent Enrollment Program and/or to retake the class.
