ConcurrentlyAce

How to become a concurrent student:

Note: This process should probably begin as soon as classes are announced, especially for your first time enrolling. I suggest starting as early as humanly possible.

Find out at which college/university near you has a concurrency program.

How do you find this out?

The simplest way is to go to a school’s website and look up concurrency opportunities for high schoolers (Note: Concurrency is NOT the same as dual enrollment)

You can also ask your college counselor

If you’ve got an on-site extended college then you can ask the people there

go to the building your local college’s admittance officers work at and ask directly

    2. Obtain a Concurrency/Special Admittance form (For me, this is called a Golden Concurrency form and it is yellow. On it, you can find the rules for special admittance)

How to obtain one of these forms:

Your high school should know what they are and be able to give you one/direct you to where you can get one.

Admittance officers should be able to give you one

Again, admittance officers at your extended college

On this form, you should be able to pick out a couple of classes (Up to a certain limit of credits) and you will need at least 4 signatures (Principal, high school counselor, college admittance officer/counselor, parent/guardian)

     3. Get approved for classes with requirements/ prerequisites

Some of your classes require something of you and you may need to take placement tests!

How to qualify for these classes:

Talk to a counselor from the college! They will tell you if you qualify or if you need to take a test in order to qualify

     4. Turn in your form and register (Not necessarily on the same day)

Your signed and approved concurrency form should be turned into an admittance office and, if your college is like mine, you may not register on the same day. My college only allows students to register on one, single date. On this day, you must pay an upfront fee (Usually 40$) that must be paid by the end of that day. This fee is a mystery to me, I only have theories as to why it exists.

     5. Enjoy your free college experience and KEEP TRACK OF YOUR COLLEGE’S REGISTRATION DATES if you plan on enrolling again. Keep in mind that fall dates may be much earlier than you think.

Today I have to go get a new Golden Concurrency form from my extended college to sign up for the summer term.

Hi, my name is Ace. I’ve had this blog for a while, but only just decided to start using it. I’m excited to finally introduce myself, so here we go.

About me:

I am 16 (January 17th 2003)

I am a concurrent high-school student attempting to finish my AA

I am a sophomore

I call myself Ace for many reasons, but also allow others to call me Sabre for a shorter version of my middle name.

I like reading and writing

I like anime (BNHA, AOT, FMA)

I’m currently binging Supernatural whilst I study Psych

Spaghetti is my spirit animal

I’ve always wanted to go to Cambridge University

What is concurrency?

For those of you wondering, much like dual-enrollment, concurrency is being a part of two different schools. The difference is that concurrency is being a part of a high school and a college!

Now, I have to be honest: my desk is messy:

My handwriting isn't neat:

And my notes aren't pretty:

And, if you couldn't tell, I have terrible photography skills.

Despite this, I hope I can inspire other students as other studyblr have always inspired me.

I wanted to add to the community in that I have a tough time finding other concurrent students and I hope to raise awareness to others about opportunities such as this, especially since concurrency is often only offered to failing students who must recover credits.

Long term goals:

Get a super score on the SAT

Finish an Associate’s degree in Psychology before/at the same time I finish high school.

Be fluent in French (To ensure I finish AG requirements for the SAT)

Feel confident in my math skills

Go to university in the UK  (I am an American)

Short term goals:

Finish the college class I’m taking now (5% of my AA)

Sign up for summer classes (Should be around 30% of my AA)

Finish the year with a 4.0

be prepared to transfer schools next year

Raise my PSAT score by 100 points 

Raise my Math PSAT score by 90 points

Become a more consistent study

What I plan to do on this blog:

Post goals

Post updates on my Concurrency journey

Educate people about concurrency

Educate people about online schooling

Post productivity updates and goals

Share what I learn

Connect with others in similar or completely different situations  

Extra details:

I’m very interested in getting into contact with other studyblrs/students so feel free to hmu or send me an ask!

This is a secondary blog so, no matter how much I love you, I won’t be able to follow you from it

Don’t be shy to reach out to me if you’re curious about something, I don’t bite!
