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. Gwinnett Technical College (GTC) Duluth High School (DHS) enrolled students will be part time. The student earns college credits as well as high school credits needed for graduation.

WHAT ABOUT TRANSFER CREDIT? It is the student’s responsibility to talk with the colleges they plan to attend after high school regarding their policies on accepting transfer credit and how they view rigor of the classes they take in high school.

HOW DOES GRADING WORK? If the student fails a class, it could jeopardize graduation! The college classes are not weighted. No points are added to the final grade. All DE classes are included on the high school transcript. 1 - 2 semester hour college classes = .5 HS credit. 3 - 5 semester hour college classes = 1.0 HS credit. 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 If a student withdraws from a course, this will result in an F on the high school transcript. At this point it is not the case but things can change.
