Concurrent Enrollment at Green Canyon High School
Concurrent enrollment allows students to earn both college credit and high school credit at the same time. This program provides an excellent opportunity to get a head start on college while saving both time and money. Green Canyon partners with Utah State University (USU) and Weber State University (WSU) to offer a variety of concurrent enrollment courses that can help students fulfill university general education requirements. Concurrent enrollment credits are usually transferable to most other colleges and universities.
