Concurrent Academic Progress Program

Concurrent Academic Progress Program

Lakeland University’s Concurrent Academic Progress Program (CAPP) allows high schools to offer students college-level courses through Lakeland University. Through CAPP, students will gain valuable academic experiences and earn college credits. These credits can apply to any major at Lakeland University or any college that honors Lakeland University transfer credits according to their policies.

CAPP courses offer multiple benefits including:

  • Convenient and efficient means for high school students to earn college credit while simultaneously earning high school credit
  • Students can complete college coursework prior to high school graduation saving students time and money
  • Tuition for CAPP courses is less than most students pay at institutions of higher education
  • Students may earn college credit for professional paid work experiences through Lakeland’s cooperative education program (Co-op)
  • Scholarships are available for students who enroll in Co-op coursework
  • All Co-op credits are guaranteed to apply to a Lakeland University degree
  • Students are provided with the opportunity to experience academic success at the collegiate level
  • Instructors and students have access to Lakeland University resources
  • Qualified instructors gain experience teaching a college course

Student Information

High schools will work with students to determine student readiness. Typically, CAPP courses are taken by high school juniors or seniors; however, academically-prepared freshman and sophomores may enroll. Generally, Lakeland has observed that students who have an overall unweighted GPA of 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) or can demonstrate competency in the discipline of the dual credit course have proven to be successful.

To register for fall classes, registration must be completed by October 1 for fall courses and March 1 for spring courses. Registration for year-long courses must be complete by October 1. Payment at the time of registration is due by credit card. Students may not register after the published deadlines due to institutional reporting deadlines.

Tuition is $90.00 per credit hour. Most courses offered are three college credits, or $270.00.

Scholarships are available for students enrolling in EXP 100, EXP 300, EXP 301, or EXP 390. Scholarships are granted based upon the student’s application. Students taking EXP coursework will be able to apply at the time of registration. Students receiving a scholarship will be expected to visit Lakeland University once during the academic year in which they received tuition assistance for a campus visit including a financial aid workshop.

Payment at the time of registration is due by credit card.

All credits earned in Lakeland’s CAPP program can be applied to any major at Lakeland University, including Cooperative Education Credits. Most institutions will accept CAPP credits because Lakeland University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, however institutions other than Lakeland will evaluate transfer credits according to its own criteria. At times, the acceptance of transfer credits is based not only on the practices of the institution, but of the specific program the student is pursuing. Lakeland University recommends that students contact the institution(s) to which they hope to transfer credits to learn more about the institution’s policies. Lakeland University further advises CAPP students to keep the course syllabus for each CAPP course which includes the course description and learning outcomes. Note: Cooperative Education courses are unique to Lakeland University and therefore may be less likely to transfer to other institutions. Students are advised to consult institutions they hope to which they hope to transfer these credits to learn if they will be accepted.

Letter grades are earned in CAPP courses and will be recorded on a Lakeland University transcript.
