Gordon State College

Move on When Ready The Move on When Ready program at Gordon State College provides an opportunity for academically-accelerated high school sophomores, juniors and seniors, to take college courses in lieu of their remaining high school requirements.

MOWR Is open to High School Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. Students earn credit for high school and college at the same time. Is offered during the Fall , Spring and Summer semesters.

MOWR Tuition is completely paid for by Georgia Student Finance Commission. All Mandatory Fees are waived, however if there are any course fees (Science LAB Fees) the student IS responsible for paying. Books are also covered under Move on When Ready.

MOWR One semester of college work is equivalent to an entire year of the same subject in high school. .5 equals = 1.0

MOWR Students who participate in MOWR can either be part time and take one or two classes; or students can be full time and take a full college semester load. The MOWR program will not prohibit you from participating in high school athletics, clubs, organizations and events. MOWR students can participate in college activities as well. They are eligible to use the GYM, tutoring on campus, library, etc.

MOWR The positive side is that you will have gotten your feet wet of what a college class is like. You will be ahead of your graduating class in completed college course work. Unlike AP classes there is no test at the end that decides if you get college credit or not.
