Concurrent Enrollment Program

 

Welcome to current and prospective URI concurrent enrollment instructors! 

All URI concurrent enrollment instructors are high school teachers who would have evaluated and approved by faculty to offer college classes directly at their respective high school students. All public high school students in the state of Rhode Island are fully funded by PrepareRI. 

Overview of Concurrent Enrollment Instructor Process

Teacher Approval Process

High School teachers interested in teaching an approved URI concurrent course in their high school should contact one of the following individuals to begin the process:

High school teachers will submit their graduate transcripts and a current resume for approval.

The Office of Strategic Initiatives will share your information with the URI department for review and approval. Once approved by URI, teachers must sign the URI Approval to Teach form and complete a USP-18 form for URI’s HR department. Please note that an SSN will be required for HR approval.

What do teachers need to know?

  • High School teachers deliver URI approved college course content in the high school classroom.
  • High school teachers can only teach the URI approved department syllabus with all designated books and course materials.
  • High school teachers are supervised by a URI faculty member. Supervision may include on site visits, observation of classes, reading student papers, checking teacher comments on student work and teaching model lessons.
  • High school teachers are expected to attend dual/concurrent information meetings, participate in any online forums, meet URI established protocols regarding registration and student drops, attend any specific professional development training required by the URI department and have the appropriate facility and resources necessary to teach an approved class at your high school.

Teacher Responsibilities

All approved teachers are required to:

  • Submit all course requests in by every May for the following academic year planned courses for Fall and Spring semesters via Google Forms.
  • Provide the full legal names of the high school students (in alphabetical order) who plan to enroll for URI college credit on your assigned OSI class roster in Google Sheets.
  • Support your students as they complete a non-degree application and register for classes in eCampus.
  • All approved students will receive a student ID and course permission number added to your assigned class roster in Google Sheets. Instructors will provide these directly to the student.
  • Additionally support letters and documents are needed for conditional enrollment approval, GPA standards, 9th and 10th grade enrollment, and MTH 111 math placement testing.
  • Instructors must regularly monitor and confirm their student roster in eCampus (accessed through MyApps).
  • Abide by all URI policies and deadlines outlined in the Academic Calendar.
  • Record all grades by the scheduled end date of your course. For the Spring term, all final grades must be entered into the URI system no later than June 15.
