Concurrent Enrollment Classes

• Meet with your high school counselor to discuss concurrent enrollment course(s) options and eligibility requirements. You can also email K-12partnerships@raritanval.edu to get additional information. Please include your high school’s name in the email subject line.
• Grade Level: Generally, students must be in 11th or 12th grade (unless otherwise communicated by your high school with special permission from RVCC)
• GPA Requirement: 3.0 (exceptions can be made by a letter of recommendation; final determination made by RVCC)
• Placement Requirement: Some courses require appropriate math and/or English placement test scores (Accuplacer) or exemptions (such as SAT/ACT/NJSLA). Check with your high school for requirements and any additional criteria. 
   

A "G#" is a unique identification number assigned to each student by RVCC, allowing for easy tracking and access to their academic records. If you have previously applied to RVCC and have a G# proceed to step 3. If you do not have a G#, please follow the steps below.

Option 3: Pay by Check

Once you have verified the balance, payment by check or money order can be sent as follows: 

Check or money order by mail made out to RVCC, Attn: Finance Office, P.O. Box 3300, Somerville, New Jersey 08876; Please include your G# and “CEP Tuition” on the check or money order so the payment can be applied to the right account.
 

Parents/Families also have the option to set up their accounts to pay CEP tuition. Click on Parents Pay Tuition Now (students must have created a Parent Account to allow parent access) to set up a parent/family account. Click on How to Create a Parent Account for details.

The CEP rate for the 2024-2025 academic year is $240 per CEP course.
The CEP tuition rate is subject to change.

Non-Payment for CEP Course(s)

The student/family or high school (if applicable) is responsible for payment upon successful completion of registration. A hold will be placed on the student account and K-12 Partnerships will not be able to register the student for additional courses until payment is made.

Withdrawal Policy

The withdrawal deadline will be communicated by the high school. To withdraw, the student must notify the high school and a CEP Withdrawal Form must be completed and submitted to K-12 Partnerships. The student will receive a "W" on their official RVCC transcript and a refund will not be issued. If payment has not been received by the time a student withdraws, payment is still owed. Students risk getting an F in the course(s) if K-12 Partnerships is not notified of a student withdrawal by the deadline.

Please check with your high school about RVCC’s CEP payment and withdrawal schedule.
