Concurrent Credit
- Classes are taught in Trinity classrooms where Trinity faculty serve as adjunct professors. Students earn both high school and college credit at the same time.
- Students pay an additional fee directly to the appropriate university.

- Classes are taught during the regular school day. There are no evening classes.
