There are two fundamental distinctions between academic accommodations in public education and postsecondary education:

1.  A public education IEP or Section 504 plan is designed to facilitate a student’s success in school, while postsecondary accommodation(s) is designed to ensure access to postsecondary education; and

2.  Public education looks to its students and makes an assessment of their physical and academic needs, while postsecondary education expects students to declare a need and request accommodation

Enrolling in a University of Utah course constitutes attendance at college. As soon as students start attending a USHE institution, they are subject to the provisions for requesting accommodations established by the institution they are attending. The institution, upon request of the student, will evaluate the student’s request for accommodation in accordance with its disability resource center (DRC) processes. An IEP or Section 504 Plan may be used as supporting documentation for requesting an accommodation in a postsecondary setting. There is no guarantee that a student with an IEP or Section 504 plan will be eligible for an accommodation at a postsecondary institution.

Please review the website for Disability Services and give yourself time to complete the process prior to the start of your UofU classes.  Here is the form for the process.

• They are the same. Early College is the name the University of Utah uses for this Partnership with AMES, and Concurrent Enrollment is the name the State Office of Education uses for the same program.

• Credits and grades will be posted on a student’s high school transcript and count toward the high school GPA.
• All grades are posted to an official college transcript, and a college GPA is established. This transcript becomes part of a student’s permanent college record. A grade of C or lower may not be considered a passing grade at the college. Therefore, a student may have to retake the course.
• Courses may not be retaken.
• A cumulative GPA of a C- or lower  in UNIVERSITY CLASSES may place a student on academic probation with the college and affect financial aid eligibility.
• Students who get a lower than a C- or below is considered a failing grade in certain classes at the UNIVERSITY OF UTAH.
  

• CE offers college credit to those students who complete the course. Students receive a grade and credit on both their high school and college transcripts.

• AP requires that a student pass the AP Exam to earn college credit. The amount of credit awarded is dependent upon the student’s score and the college or university acceptance requirement. A fee is charged to take the exam.  Here is guide on AP Credits in the USHE system.

• IB provides courses in a variety of subjects tied to an international curriculum. IB requires that a student pass an IB exam to earn college credit. The amount of credit awarded is dependent upon the student's score and the college or university acceptance requirement. A fee is charged to take the exam.

• EC students pay tuition and fees to the institution they attend, and must provide their own transportation to the university campus. Credit is posted to a college transcript. Students may request that credit also be posted to their high school transcript.  High School University would be considered and Early College program.
