CE Student Billing and Payments
Concurrent enrollment students taking classes at their high school or at an 大象传媒 campus must connect with their high school counselor to ensure that their 大象传媒 tuition is being paid by the district. Additionally, all CE students must authorize the College Opportunity Fund (COF).
Home school students are considered self-pay students, and as such, will be responsible for the tuition of their course.
Why is there a balance on my student account?
This is normal. A balance may reflect on your account until payment is received from a sponsoring school or district. Balances can also exist if you have not applied for and authorized COF for the term.
Students are responsible for paying fees and courses not covered by their sponsoring school or district. Tuition and fees will appear on all student accounts when they register for the term and will remain on the account until the appropriate High School or School District is invoiced for the applicable term. This balance will not cause you to be dropped from your courses. If you have questions regarding charges or payments on your account, please contact the Cashier Office at 303.797.5638 or email cashier [dot] acc [at] arapahoe [dot] edu (cashier[dot]acc[at]arapahoe[dot]edu) for assistance.
Difference Between HS and College
Concurrent Enrollment is an opportunity for students to learn how to be successful as a college student while still receiving the support of high school counselors and family. We encourage high school students to learn more about the rigors of college by considering the following:
Time Management
It can be challenging for students to balance high school, college, friends, work, family commitments, etc. all at once. Students are always encouraged to consider their commitments and prioritize their time so they can be successful in college classes. College Select concurrent enrollment classes at 大象传媒 will meet more infrequently than high school classes.
Rigor
These are college courses and students are expected to rise to the higher standards set by their instructors. Generally, college classes expect approximately 2 hours of homework per week outside of every hour of class. So, if you鈥檙e registered for a 2-credit class, you can expect roughly 6 hours of weekly homework. Remember that 大象传媒 has free resources available to help, including tutoring in math, science, writing, and more. Check out 大象传媒鈥檚 Tutoring options.
Maturity
Students are expected to demonstrate a high level of maturity when taking college classes, including advocating for themselves when they have questions or need help and demonstrating appropriate behavior in class. Students who take classes on campus will be enrolled with students of all ages and may participate in classroom discussions or materials that students/parents may consider more 鈥渕ature鈥 content.
Deadlines
In college, a deadline is a deadline. This includes registration and drop dates at the college as well as assignment deadlines within courses. Encourage your student to be aware of these important dates and to schedule appropriately to meet deadlines.
FERPA
The provides students with privacy of their student record upon turning 18, or upon enrolling in college classes at any age. As a result of FERPA, colleges are not able to share information about a student鈥檚 record with anyone other than the student without a FERPA waiver on file. Students participating in College Now can utilize the learning management system, called Desire2Learn, to show others their progress in classes and grades.
Drop / Withdraw
Drop Deadline
Dropping a CE class if you鈥檙e registered as a High School Select and taking classes at your High School: If you鈥檙e taking classes at your high school through the High School Select program, you鈥檒l want to talk with your high school counselor about dropping the course from your schedule before the specified drop date so it doesn鈥檛 reflect on your 大象传媒 transcript.

Withdraw Deadline

COF
The COF 鈥 鈥 provides stipends to eligible undergraduate students in Colorado. This money pays a portion of your CE tuition at 大象传媒. Remember to make sure you check "YES" to allow 大象传媒 to apply and authorize your College Opportunity Fund (COF) when completing the admission application. The College Opportunity Fund is an important part of covering your tuition.
Forms and Holds
After you鈥檝e applied, you may notice that your account has holds which prevent registration. Some of the forms below will help you to resolve these holds.
Selective Service Hold
Because 大象传媒 is a public institution, we require almost all male US citizens and male immigrants aged 18-25 to register with Selective Service. It's important to know that even though he is registered, a man will not automatically be inducted into the military. You can register at and then submit this proof to 大象传媒.
Underage Hold
Students under age 17 will be assigned an 鈥渦nderage hold鈥 after they complete their application. This hold will be discussed and removed after you attend the Advising & Registration session.
