Example: ENGL 1101 (3 hours) MATH 1111 (3 hours) SPAN 1001 (3 hours) PHED 1101 (3 hours) ART 1010 (3 hours)

Colleges must accept the amount as full payment for

each MOWR student enrolling full-time (12

hours). Any difference between the tuition/fees and the FTE payment is waived.

The amount is calculated based on an

average MOWR student FTE:

FY15 = $1295.31 per semester

High schools receive a $200 administrative fee per

MOWR student.

GADOE determines the amount to be sent to each

college for each MOWR student they have enrolled.

Dual Enrollment Admission Requirements

Note: Institutions may

have additional

requirements.

USG

Minimum 970 combined SAT CR/Math OR 20 ACT Composite

Minimum 3.0 cumulative HS GPA (17 RHSC units)

On-track for HS graduation and RHSC completion

Exemption of all Learning Support requirements

Verification of lawful presence requirement applies to any student requesting to be classified as “in-state” and any student applying to:

Georgia College & State University Georgia Institute of Technology Georgia Regents University Georgia State University University of Georgia

TCSG

COMPASS, ASSET, ACT or SAT placement scores vary per program

On-track for HS Graduation

Submission of college application, Accel/Dual HOPE Credit application, signed parental permission form

Verification of lawful presence requirement applies to any student requesting to be classified as “in-state”. Students

must be able to provide appropriate residency documentation

Residency O.C.G.A. 20-3-66

Students under the age of 24 are eligible to be classified as in-state if their parent has established and maintained domicile in Georgia for at least 12 consecutive months immediately preceding the first day of classes for the term and:

• The student has graduated (or will graduate) from a Georgia high school; or,

• The parent claimed the student as a dependent on the parent’s most recent federal or state income tax return.

Students may also be classified as in-state based on their U.S. court-appointed legal guardian provided that guardian has established and maintained domicile in Georgia for at least 12 consecutive months immediately preceding the first day of classes for the term and the guardianship was not appointed to avoid the payment of out-of-state tuition.

Lawful permanent residents, refugees, asylees, & other eligible noncitizens as defined by federal Title IV regulations may be extended the same consideration as U.S. citizens in determining whether they qualify for in-state classification.

The Federal Student Aid Handbook published by the U.S. Department of Education defines those categories of non-citizens considered “other eligible noncitizens”.

Note: Exact timeline will vary by high school and college

* Note: After Drop/Add period, MOWR students who withdraw from a

course are still considered full time by the college

Sample DE Timeline

• 27 Courses are guaranteed to transfer from TCSG colleges to USG colleges/universities.

• 22 states have adopted policies guaranteeing that dual-enrollment credits be accepted by colleges, up from 15 in 2008.

• Research shows that male and low income students participating in dual enrollment out-perform those that don’t participate.
