You can Reach EVEN Higher by taking courses for both high school and college credit on our Lakewood and Arvada campuses through the Concurrent Enrollment program. Choose from several different courses and schedule options that fit your individual needs. You may be eligible for tuition reimbursement or pre-paid tuition options through your school district. If approved to participate, most school districts cover cost of tuition only and student is responsible for fees and textbooks (verify with your high school counselor).
