Dual Enrollment for High School Students

(formerly known as Move On When Ready)

Double the credit. Half the time. Zero the tuition.

Dual Enrollment

Dual Enrollment is an investment in a student’s future – offering high school students  the dynamic opportunity to “jump start” their college education! *Additional program-specific fees may be charged. The benefits include:

  • Decreases length of time in college due to taking courses while in high school.
  • Introduces students to the college atmosphere, making them more equipped to handle college life after high school graduation.
  • Provides an advantage of versatile college schedules, including online courses.
  • Provides access to college resources (e.g. Library, Computer Lab, Learning Enrichment Center).
  • Dual Enrollment funds do not affect students’ HOPE cap.

The Dual Enrollment program allows high school students to take academic degree level core courses that will transfer to any TCSG or USG institution. Students are also allowed to take both diploma level and/or occupational courses. Some students may choose to enroll fully into a degree, diploma, or technical certificate of credit program, or they may choose to just take a few courses. Hours taken through the Dual Enrollment program will not count towards a student’s HOPE Grant or Scholarship maximum credit hours. The Dual Enrollment program is a great opportunity for high school students to start on their college coursework. Courses are taught on the college campus, high school campus, online, hybrid, and via distance education.

Tuition, Fees and Books

Tuition and most fees are covered by Dual Enrollment for every eligible student in the program. Books will also be provided  to Dual Enrollment students at no charge. Because students are eligible to participate in almost all STC programs, they may be responsible for course-specific fees in some program areas; however, most STC programs do not require such fees. Students should speak with the High School Initiatives Coordinator to find out specifics about course-related fees.

Who is eligible?
