Dual Enrollment Options for High School Students

The college recognizes the need to provide academically talented high school students with opportunities for acceleration of their formal academic programs. This recognition has led to the development of several organized programs.

1. Move On When Ready is a program designed for exceptional students who seek to enroll full-time (12 semester hours or more) at the College of Coastal Georgia to replace their Junior and/or Senior year of high school. Students can enroll only in courses approved by the high school counselor and the University System of Georgia. Tuition for this program is funded through the Georgia Department of Education, but the student will still be responsible for all books, supplies and some institutional fees.
   
   Admission requirements include:
   • Must be following an academically stringent curriculum at an accredited high school;
   • High school grade point average of 3.5 or better;
   • SAT Critical Reading of 600 and SAT Math of 600 or ACT equivalent;
   • Permission of parent and high school official;
   • On track toward completion of high school graduation requirements.
   For further details, please see the Move On When Ready program application.
2. ACCEL is a program designed for exceptional students who seek to enroll at the College of Coastal Georgia to replace some or all of courses taken during their Junior or Senior year of high school. Students can enroll only in courses approved by the high school counselor and those listed in the Course Directory published by the Georgia Students Finance Commission. Tuition for this program is funded by State revenues. Students will be granted a small book allowance based on the hours enrolled, but will be responsible for additional cost for books, supplies and some institutional fees.

3. Joint Enrollment is for Applicants who would like to supplement their high school curriculum by taking college level courses in addition to work they are completing at the high school. Students must meet the same academic requirements as an ACCEL applicant. The student will be responsible for meeting the cost of attendance through private means and will normally not be eligible for state or Federal programs.
4. Early Admission is an option for applicants who demonstrate very high academic abilities through their SAT or ACT scores (700 SAT Math and 700 SAT Critical Reading or 31 ACT Math and 31 ACT English); they may be permitted to enroll in college courses at the discretion of the institution even though they have not met the regular admission standard.
