Dual Enrollment
Dual Enrollment (formerly Move On When Ready) is Georgia's new program that allows high school students to earn college credit while working on their high school diploma. The new law streamlines the existing dual enrollment options (Accel and HOPE Grant) into one program with one funding source. By consolidating the existing programs into a single program, it will be easier for students and parents to navigate and take advantage of the available options to enroll in college courses while still in high school. The new dual enrollment program includes provisions to help remove some of the financial barriers that may prevent students from participating in a dual enrollment program.
Columbus State University has made the decision to waive testing requirements for Dual Enrollment students applying for the Spring, Summer and Fall 2021 semesters. Students must meet the following requirements:
- Be on-track for completing all high school graduation requirements and the USG's Required High School Curriculum (RHSC).
- Have at least a 3.0 High School GPA calculated on the RHSC courses completed.
- Successfully completed two units of English. (480 EBRW SAT, 17 English ACT, or 17 Reading ACT can waive this requirement)
- Successfully completed Algebra II or the equivalent. (440 Math SAT or 17 Math ACT can waive this requirement)
