Scores/transcripts are submitted to the Director of Concurrent Enrollment at Wenatchee Valley College by the high school teacher or high school administrator, who ensures student has qualified to enroll in the CHS course.  If the course has additional prerequisites outside of the placement rubric, student must provide documentation of meeting the requirement to the Director of Concurrent Enrollment.  Qualifying students must enroll in the CHS course on their high school campus in order to receive college credit.  The Director of Concurrent Enrollment will then work with high school administrator and qualified students to complete the WVC registration process. Registration is completed on paper and submitted to WVC for processing to ensure that CHS students are enrolled in the specified sections for their high school.

 CHS students have the right to withdraw from their courses if they choose.  Withdrawal can take place up until the 10th week of the high school term in which the CHS course is being offered.  Students must first notify their CHS instructor that they wish to withdraw.  Next they need to immediately notify the CHS Director.  Finally, the student will need to complete the the Course Change form found at this link (or in the CHS Student Handbook) and return it to the CHS Director as soon as possible. Any withdrawal forms received after the published last date to withdraw on the CHS Academic Calendar, will not be processed and the student will remain in the course.
