What is the difference between AP & Concurrent Enrollment classes?
Advanced Placement courses, commonly known as "AP" courses, are classes that offer college credit if the AP Exam is passed at the end of school year.  The exam costs $94.  

Concurrent Enrollment courses are taught "concurrently" at the high school and college level by high school instructors.  The college has to approve the instructor and the course.  Credit is earned by passing the course.  There is a fee of $5 per semester credit hour taken that is paid to the university.

Distance Learning courses, also known as Live Interactive courses, are classes that involve live, two-way video conferencing with the UVU campus ALC.   The class is taught by a UVU professor.  Credit is earned as a Concurrent Enrollment class.

UVU - Concurrent Enrollment and Distance Education (Live Interactive)

Concurrent Enrollment is a Utah Valley University - High School partnership program where qualified students earn college credit.  College classes are taught at the high school by UVU-approved high school instructors using college curriculum and assessment.  The Concurrent Enrollment Office, UVU Academic Departments, and the partnering high schools work closely together to uphold the academic quality of each course.
