An Introduction to
Dual Enrollment

We know choosing a college is one of the most important decisions your child will make. Through the Dual Enrollment Program, your child can get a head start on his or her college experience.

The Georgia Student Finance Commission will cover most of the cost of the program if your child qualifies. Research shows students who start college while still in high school perform well academically.

The Basics of Dual Enrollment

What is the Dual Enrollment Program?

The Dual Enrollment Program gives high school juniors and seniors the chance to enroll part time or full time to earn high school and college credit concurrently. Participation is permitted during the normal fall, spring and summer semesters of the college school year.

What Role Do I Play?

Your role is very important. If your child wants to take dual enrollment classes at Georgia State, discuss whether or not you think it’s the best fit. Remind your child that college material requires added responsibility (finishing class work on time, asking instructors questions when things are unclear and the like).

Your child may need your help getting to and from his or her classes on campus. He or she will also need money for class fees that aren’t covered by the Dual Enrollment Program.

How Does My Child Apply?
