    What is Dual Enrollment?

    Dual Enrollment ​is designed to prepare students for college and career opportunities, leading students to postsecondary institutions for an industry recognized certification or lic​ensure, an associate and/or higher college ​​​degree, and successful employment.  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. (GaDOE, 2023)
