The Concurrent Enrollment Logo

Although the Fall semester has just begun, it’s not too early to start thinking about the Spring semester (January 2027). Students have the opportunity to earn TUITION FREE college credits through concurrent enrollment courses. BVSD partners with Front Range Community College to offer two types of concurrent enrollment courses, many of which are Guaranteed Transfer to 4 year colleges such as CU/CSU/UNC, and many out of state colleges!)

  • District Select – Courses are available only to BVSD students and are typically offered asynchronously online, though some may include occasional in-person class meetings. Students can have these courses placed into their High School class schedule in place of another class. Check out the Spring 2027 offerings. Many of these courses are Guaranteed Transfer, meaning that the course credits will transfer to a Colorado Public College (such as CU/CSU etc). TUITION FREE 

  • Campus Select – Courses are offered either in person at a FRCC campus or asynchronously online. In particular, check out the courses that are Guaranteed Transfer- great for students on a college track! TUITION FREE 

In mid-October 2026, please reach out to your Grad+ specialist, Wendy Pearson, to discuss these wonderful tuition-free opportunities.
