What is dual enrollment
Dual Enrollment is a program in Georgia that allows eligible HIGH SCHOOL students to take college courses and earn both high school and college credit for the courses taken. Grades must be entered on both transcripts and are figured into the GPA.
Approved college courses taken are free of charge for students and do not count toward students’ maximum hourly caps for HOPE Scholarship or HOPE Grant.

AP VS De
Things to consider
- DE courses are accepted by most colleges in Georgia and even many out of State schools.
- If a student passes a DE course, college credit is earned.
- DE courses and grades go on the student’s college and high school transcript.
- In order to earn college credit for an AP course, a student must make a qualifying score on the AP exam no matter his/her grade in the class.
- Some very competitive colleges give extra weighting to AP courses when calculating GPA for admission purposes.
