High School /College Dual Enrollment Information And Procedures * Subject to change based on legislative action

WHAT IS Dual Enrollment? The Dual Enrollment program is an opportunity for qualified high school students to earn college credits. The student is “jointly” enrolled in high school and in college. The student can be a full time or part time college student. The student earns college credits as well as high school credits needed for graduation.

WHERE CAN I ATTEND? A student may apply to attend any participating public college, private college, or technical college in Georgia.

It is the student’s responsibility to talk with colleges regarding their policies on accepting transfer credit.

HOW DOES GRADING WORK? If the student fails a class, it could jeopardize graduation! No points are added to the final grade (exception – 10 pts. are added to Georgia Tech –Calculus II). All Dual Enrollment classes are included on the high school transcript. If colleges provide the high school with letter grades, the high school will transcribe the letter grade to the midpoint of the grading scale. A = 95 B = 85 C = 77 D = 72 F = 55

GRADE CONVERSON ► 1 - 2 semester hour college classes = .5 HS credit. Note: Science labs will receive .5 HS credit and will count toward elective credit. They will not count toward fourth science requirement.

What Are the CONS PROS Dual Enrollment does not count against HOPE cap Students must keep up with important Junior/Senior High School information. Many colleges prefer a different curriculum path (i.e. AP classes). Colleges will not communicate with parents of Dual Enrollment students. PROS Students get a free head start on college.
