Dual Enrollment is designed to prepare students for college and career opportunities leading students to postsecondary institutions for an industry recognized certification or licensure, an associate and/or higher college degree, and successful employment. Georgia has created a singular program known as Dual Enrollment for students in grades 9-12 who qualify to participate. Students may enroll on a part-time or full-time basis as a Dual Enrollment student and take college courses at their high school or on a postsecondary campus. Students will receive high school and college credit simultaneously when attending and passing approved college classes.
A dual enrollment task force has been formed by the Governor to study how to improve the opportunities that are available for students through our dual enrollment programs. Additionally, the task force will look at improving and streamlining the process that students and schools use in applying and enrolling in secondary institutions. Please be aware of possible changes and that further information will be forthcoming as more direction is given.
