8. The Future looks Bright
We have been careful to add courses that benefit the students.
The program has shown steady growth and success.
We are involved with the program and monitor student progress.
We understand that this program is not for every student. However, we recognize that some students are ready for the challenge of college level course work.
We work closely with admissions reps and college transfer equivalency charts to verify the university will accept credits.

9. Where are the classes offered?
Can be taken on college campus, online, or at high school depending on the type of dual enrollment.
Can be taken before, during, or after regular school hours.
Can be enrolled full-time or part-time.

10. SCHEDUlING
Students must take a high school course or a DE course we offer during the school day.
Any other DE courses must be taken outside the school day.
On-campus DE courses are scheduled as a pair.
For example, 1st block M/W English 1101 and T/TH/F Online DE course with a supervising teacher.
Senior year allows some flexibility.

14. Things to Consider
Students earn 5 extra points added to the final grade as an incentive for enrolling in the MOWR courses, just as they do for an AP course the choose to take.
The professors usually provide a numeric grade. If the professor provides a letter grade, the high school will transcribe the letter grade as follows:
A plus = 98 B plus= 88 Any C = 77 Any D = 72
A= 95 B = 85
A minus =92 B minus = 82
The extra 5 points are not added to the college transcript, therefore the college transcript will show a different grade.

15. Things to Consider
Georgia End of Course Test (EOC) is not required for the following college courses (US History, Economics, American Literature, Biology).
Failing a Dual Enrollment class may jeopardize graduation.
All (passed or failed) Dual Enrollment classes are included on the high school transcript.
Students will have acquire an official college transcript from each of the colleges from which they take classes.

16. Dropping or withdrawing
Students and parents should understand once committed to Dual Enrollment classes the student is expected to complete the courses to the best of his or her ability.
Once enrolled in the Dual Enrollment class you may not drop the course. Withdrawing or dropping a course will only occur if college and school personnel deem it necessary.

17. Student responsibilities
A student must meet the entrance requirements of the institution.
It is the student’s responsibility to register for the correct classes.
Schedules and changes must be approved by the high school counselor.

Students are responsible for having access to a computer, printer, internet to enroll in the Dual Enrollment Program
Students could be responsible to pay for supplies/materials that are not covered by the college or universities.
For instance, T-I80 graphing calculator for math of science goggles

18. NCAA Eligibility
A student must meet all GHSA eligibility requirements to participate in high school sports.
It is the parent and/or students responsibility to contact the coach of the college or university regarding their enrollment in the Dual Enrollment Program.

Each institution’s core curriculum shall consist of 42 semester credit hours, with minimum credit hours in each area of the core areas.
