Dual Enrollment Students

Earn College Credit While in High School

Picture

Dual Enrollment

Albany State University's Dual Enrollment Program allows eligible high school students to earn college credit while simultaneously satisfying high school graduation requirements. Students gain early exposure to college coursework, save money on future college expenses, and get a head start on their degree.

Students interested in Dual Enrollment are encouraged to talk with their high school counselor as early as possible to ensure all deadlines are met. Students should be aware that college courses are typically more rigorous than high school courses and move at a faster pace.  Also, Dual Enrollment courses result in real college credit and the grades become a part of the student's permanent college record.  Grades earned through Dual Enrollment can assist with future eligibility for college admission and scholarships as well as high school graduation.

 

Students may be eligible if they:

    • Are enrolled in a Georgia public, private, or approved home study program
    • Are currently in the 10th, 11th, or 12th grade
    • Meet Albany State University's admissions requirements
    • Receive approval from their high school counselor and parent/guardian

Grade Level Eligibility

11th & 12th Graders

  • Eligible students may take any approved Dual Enrollment courses listed on the Course Directory, at an eligible participating postsecondary institution (USG, TCSG or private).
