Our annual District-Wide Dual Enrollment Interest Meetings will be held on the following dates from 6:00 pm -7:00 pm:

• Monday, January 27 from 6:00—7:00 pm at Northside High School in the auditorium
• Tuesday, January 28 from 6:00 pm—7:00 pm at Spencer High School in the auditorium
• Thursday, January 30 from 6:00 pm—7:00 pm at Carver High School in the auditorium

Students and parents may choose to go to any of the three meetings regardless of region.  These meetings are not mandatory for participation in dual enrollment. 

 Representatives from CSU, CTC, and GMC will briefly present information specific to their respective institutions (admissions requirements, opportunities, procedures, etc.).  We will include BRIEF information about Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate in the presentation as well, but the meeting will focus on Dual Enrollment opportunities and procedures. 

Dual Enrollment Step-by-Step Guide

Deadline:  May 1, 2020

Step 1:  Contact Hardaway’s Counseling Office to schedule a mandatory dual enrollment participation meeting. At this meeting, you and your parent/guardian will complete the MCSD Dual Enrollment Participation Agreement. The mandatory meeting and completion of the participation agreement will take place each semester/quarter of dual enrollment.

 Step 2:  Register online to take the SAT or ACT.  (GMC & CTC will give you the ACCUPLACER test.  You will not need an SAT or ACT score for these 2 schools.  You will need one for CSU.  You can apply for a fee waiver in the Counseling Office, if you are a Junior or Senior only.  When you register online for your test, request that your test scores be sent to the college at which you plan to dual enroll.  You risk missing CSU’s dual enrollment deadline if you wait to test after March.

 Step 3:  Apply for admission to CSU, GMC, or CTC.  Go to GAfutures.org.  If you don’t have a GAfutures account, you will have to create one.  Once logged in, go to “College Planning” and find the “College Applications” tab.  Find the college you are applying to and click on “Apply.”  For GMC, use the code Ready4College to avoid being charged the application fee.  For CSU, complete a NACAC admissions fee waiver request form, which you can get from your school counselor.  You will be sent a fee waiver code to use when applying to CSU.

 Step 4:  Through GA futures.org, request that a copy of your high school transcript be sent to the college at which you plan to dual enroll.  Additionally, the college will need a copy of your Immunization Record and a copy of your Photo ID.

 Step 5:  Complete the Dual Enrollment Online Funding Application found at GAfutures.org.  Look for Shortcuts on the HOME page.   In order for the state to pay for your courses, this form must be completed each semester/quarter of dual enrollment. 

 Step 6:  Once accepted to the college, set up a meeting with your College Advisor to select your college courses. 

 Step 7:   Provide a copy of your college course schedule to your high school counselor. Once your school counselor receives your college schedule, she will be able to complete the Dual Enrollment Online Application process, and your classes will be paid for.  Hardaway High School courses will remain on your class schedule until you have provided your school counselor with a copy of your college class schedule.
