Concurrent Enrollment (also known as CIS- college in the schools- classes) are classes that are taught at Becker High School and students earn dual credit (high school and college credit). Becker High School partners with St. Cloud State University to offer various course options (SCSU uses the term "Huskies in the High School").
Students who enroll in concurrent enrollment classes will have a college transcript through SCSU upon completing high school. Students will need to send their official SCSU transcript to the college they will be attending in order for their courses/credits to transfer. For information on sending a transcript, click here.
Students who would like to enroll in the CIS courses must meet certain criteria to be eligible.
Sophomores- must rank in the top 10% of graduating class
Juniors- must have a 3.5 GPA or higher
Seniors- must have a 3.0 GPA or higher
PreCalculus- students take the Accuplacer prior to the beginning of the course. Students who score at SCSU's cut off score can earn college credit for the course. Students in Grades 10, 11 and 12 have the opportunity to earn college credit for PreCalculus.
Writing- students take the Accuplacer prior to the beginning of the course. Students who score at SCSU's cut off score can earn college credit for the course.
