It is written for school districts and high schools that partner with FRCC to offer concurrent enrollment programs, allowing high school students to earn college credit. The guide outlines the program's purpose, legal basis, and the responsibilities of both FRCC and local education partners.

The legal and legislative background section explains the Colorado Concurrent Enrollment Programs Act (HB 09-1319) and its history, including the repeal of earlier legislation. It also covers the College Opportunity Fund (COF) stipend, which covers a portion of tuition for eligible students. The guide details COF account requirements, including how students apply and resolve account holds that may affect registration.
FRCC's roles and responsibilities are described, emphasizing the college's strategic priorities of student success and strong partnerships. The guide specifies requirements for a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with each district, student record accountability, and faculty credential verification. It also references the CCCS Statement of Standards, which covers curriculum, faculty, students, assessment, facilities, and administration.
The document includes contact information for FRCC concurrent enrollment staff, including the director, enrollment manager, and coordinators. It also provides practical guidance for students, such as how to select courses aligned with their Individual Career and Academic Plans (ICAPs) and how to handle registration holds. The guide is a comprehensive resource for partner schools to administer concurrent enrollment effectively.
