What is Dual Enrollment as defined by
Georgia?
Dual Enrollment, formerly Move On When Ready (MOWR), is
Georgia’s dual enrollment program that allows high school students
(9th – 12th grade) to earn college credit while working on their
high school diploma. The Dual Enrollment program covers tuition,
mandatory fees and required textbooks. The goal of Dual
Enrollment is to increase college access and completion, and
prepare students to enter the workforce with the skills they need
to succeed.
Georgia’s Dual Enrollment Program

payment was made, are not counted as Attempted-Hours nor are they included in
the Combined Paid-Hours limit for purposes of HOPE Scholarship or Zell Miller
Scholarship eligibility
MCSD’s Dual Enrollment Program
• All district procedures must be followed for a student to be enrolled in a DE course
to protect that student’s academic progress toward high school graduation.
• Every student and his/her parent/guardian must meet with his/her current
guidance counselor in charge of Dual Enrollment on the high school campus prior
to enrolling in DE courses for each term that the student enrolls.
• DE Participation Agreement Form MUST be signed by all parties for every semester
the student is enrolled.
• The student must be admitted into the post-secondary institution prior to registering for
any courses with the counselor or the post-secondary institution.

participation as well as district procedures.
STEPS TOWARD DUAL ENROLLMENT IN MCSD
Important Considerations
Required SAT/ACT/Accuplacer testing has been completed or is scheduled.
Academic Rigor—Understanding that DE courses will be rigorous courses on the college level.
Attendance—Recognizing the importance of attending all classes and following PSI attendance policies.
Communication Skills—Knowing when to ask for the professor’s help and learning early each semester
how to contact each professor. Understanding that communication from the professor will be with the
student and not the parent(s)/guardian(s).
Mandatory Student Events and Trainings—Participating in mandatory orientations or other events set up
the postsecondary school and high school accordingly.
Maturity Level--Making certain that the student’s social and emotional maturity level is such that the
student will be successful in the DE program.
Organization and Study Skills—Recognizing the importance of time management and being organized as
well as having a plan to meet all course requirements on time.
Satisfactory Academic Progress—Understanding the postsecondary institution’s SAP (set by the
institution).
Syllabus—Being familiar with each professor’s syllabus, which will be the road map for the course and
include all important deadlines for the course.
DE STUDENTS (& PARENTS/GUARDIANS) MUST:
• CHOOSE a program of interest and meet the eligibility requirements of the post-secondary institution in
preparation for placement in the DE course (SAT, ACT, Accuplacer, and/or GPA requirements)
• ESTABLISH a GAfutures account and become familiar with the website for fulfilling DE admission
requirements. www.gafutures.org
• MAINTAIN the required GPA to meet the coordinating college admission criteria throughout their enrollment in
DE courses. Multiple attempts and low grades in DE courses may affect subsequent admission to colleges as well as
coursework required for graduation.
• ACKNOWLEDGE that withdrawal from a college course does not guarantee placement in an equivalent course for
graduation/credit recovery.
• ACKNOWLEDGE that should a participating DE student fail a DE course or receive a WF, the student may not
be approved to take the same course again under the DE program. This decision will be made by the administration
of the local high school and the school counselor.
• UNDERSTAND that the student becomes the owner of his or her own academic record when entering a
DE course and the DE instructor is only obligated to discuss the student’s record (grades, progress, etc.)
with the student.
OTHER NOTABLE MENTIONS: • DE students may also participate in events, clubs, organizations, and athletics at the local high school provided that the student can meet all the requirements for memberships in such groups as written in their bylaws and regulations. • DE classes attended on the college campus follow the college calendar and DE classes attended on the high school campus during their scheduled school day follow the high school calendar. • All DE courses and the course grades will become part of the student’s high school and college permanent (official) transcript.
Dual Enrollment, AP, or IB? Similarities: • All expose students to college level work. • All allow students to earn college credits while in high school. Differences: • Dual enrollment performance and credit rewarded is based on a course grade while AP and IB scores are based on standardized exams. • AP students take the course in a high school setting with other high school students. Dual enrollment may take place either at the high school or at a local college depending on offerings. • Success rates may vary per individual, per institution, per instructor.
Advanced Placement (AP) • There are 38 AP courses in seven subject categories. • Each AP course is modeled on a comparable introductory college course in the subject. • Each course culminates in a standardized college-level assessment, or AP Exam. • AP Exams are given in May each year at testing locations all over the world. • Schools must be authorized by the AP Course Audit to offer approved AP courses and use the AP designation. • The AP Program supplies a detailed set of expectations about what content a college-level course in that subject should cover. AP teachers design their own syllabi with these standards in mind. (They can also choose to use existing, approved syllabi.) The College Board reviews each course design through a process called the AP Course Audit before authorizing your school to call the course “AP.”
Advanced Placement (AP) • AP can serve as a global credential. Universities around the world recognize AP when making admissions decisions. Qualifying AP Exam scores earn university credit in nearly all universities in the United States and Canada and are recognized in over 100 other countries worldwide. Scores of 3 or 4 on AP Exams fulfill admission requirements in many universities in UK and Europe. Each college and university determines its own policies regarding AP Exam scores. • Research shows that students who receive a score of 3 or higher on AP Exams typically experience greater academic success in college and have higher graduation rates than their non-AP peers. • Research shows that students who take AP courses and exams are much more likely than their peers to complete a college degree on time.
International Baccalaureate (IB) Overview • Six Diploma courses (English, Math, Science, Social Studies, World Language, and an elective), Theory of Knowledge course, a college-level research paper called the Extended Essay • Engage in and reflect on activities that foster their own development outside of the academic setting. • Earn college credits in a manner similar to Advance Placement courses, depending on the college, the score, and the course. • Students who score enough points on all of their IB exams and successfully complete all of the program requirements are awarded an IB Diploma in addition to their traditional high school diploma which is recognized by universities around the world.
International Baccalaureate Career Program • More targeted focus on students preparing for college in specific career fields rather than having a broad preparation like the IB Diploma • Complete exams in 2-4 Diploma courses which are selected to best compliment their chosen career pathway, Personal and Professional Skills course, college research paper called the “Reflective Project,” and engage in career-related studies outside of the academic setting • Earn college credits in a manner similar to Advance Placement courses, depending on the college, the score, and the course. • Students who score enough points on all of their IB exams and successfully complete all of the program requirements are awarded an IB Career-Related Certificate in addition to their traditional high school diploma which is recognized by universities around the world.
What makes IB Different? • International focus • Inquiry-based learning • Understanding and application over memorization • Focus on personal development along with academic rigor • Models college processes and develops skills necessary for college success
Every student’s path is different.
The decision to take a Dual Enrollment course (or
any other course) should be about the individual
student’s STRENGTHS, GOALS, NEEDS, and
INTERESTS.
It’s not always either/or…
It could be both/and/neither!
