1. Move On When Ready

2. What is Move on When Ready?
Move on When Ready is Georgia’s new dual enrollment program that allows high school students (9th-12th grade) to earn college credit while working on their high school diploma.
The new Move on When Ready replaces Accel, Hope Grant for dual enrollment and the previous Move on When Ready programs.

3. Allows high school students to take college classes and receive both high school and college credit.
MOWR program covers the cost of tuition and mandatory fees as well as provides required textbooks.
Students can participate fall, spring, and summer semesters.
Students can register for up to 15 hours each semester at each institution that they attend.

4. Who is Eligible vs. Who is Ready?
All high school students who meet the postsecondary requirements are ELIGIBLE to participate in MOWR.
Eligibility usually based on academic GPA and test scores (SAT, ACT, Compass, Accuplacer).
When evaluating whether a student is ready for college-level coursework look beyond GPA and test scores.
If a student is disorganized, a perfectionist, unassertive, easily overwhelmed, unwilling to ask for help and relies to heavily on parents – may want to reconsider if READY!!
ELIGIBLE IS NOT ALWAYS READY!!!!!
