WHAT IS THE HIGH SCHOOL/COLLEGE DUAL

ENROLLMENT PROGRAM?

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 public college, private college, or technical college.

Page 5: High School / College  Dual  Enrollment

WHAT ABOUT TRANSFER CREDIT?

It is the student’s responsibility to talk with colleges regarding their policies on Dual Enrollment credit. Generally, public colleges in the state of Georgia will honor any credit earned at any other Georgia public college when a grade of “C” or better is earned.

Private colleges and out of state colleges vary on their acceptance of Dual Enrollment credit.

Page 6: High School / College  Dual  Enrollment

HOW DOES GRADING WORK? 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 = 77D = 72 F = 55

If an End of Course Test (EOCT) is required for a course taken at college (ie. Economics), the student must return to the high school and complete that test. The EOCT counts 20% of the student's final H.S. grade.

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).
