Dual Enrollment

The new Dual Enrollment combined Accel, HOPE Grant Dual Enrollment, and old Dual Enrollment programs for Georgia public or private high schools, and Home study programs within the State of Georgia operated in accordance with O.C.G.A. 20-2-690(c). The new Dual Enrollment Program Goals are to simplify three programs into one program; expand Dual Enrollment opportunities, and full-time or part-time attendance.

Any Georgia high school student who is entering ninth, tenth, eleventh, or twelfth grade at an eligible high school may be able to enroll as a Dual Enrollment student. A student must be admitted and classified as a Dual Enrollment student by an eligible postsecondary institution. Full-time enrollment is not a requirement. Students who enroll in a TCSG college or other Georgia colleges or universities in the Dual Enrollment program receive credit hours simultaneously meeting their high school graduation or Home Study completion requirements as Dual Credit Enrollment students. Dual Enrollment applicants must gain regular admissions status to enroll at the College. High school students whose test scores place them in learning support are not eligible to enroll in Dual Enrollment courses at the College.

To participate in Dual Enrollment at SCTC, applicants must:

  1. Be a Georgia high school student entering 9th-12th grade at an eligible high school;
  2. Complete, sign, and submit the College’s application for admission;
  3. Students must meet SAT, ACT, PSAT, Accuplacer or high school GPA minimum requirements;
  4. Students must complete and submit to their high school any paperwork that is required by the secondary system, including the GA DOE Student Participation Agreement;
  5. Gain regular admissions status to enroll at the College;
  6. Attend New Student Orientation prior to first semester at the College;
