Why should students participate in dual enrollment? What colleges participate in the Cobb Schools Dual Enrollment Program? Who pays the tuition? How do students enroll in the program? What are the qualifications? Who helps students coordinate college classes with high school requirements?
All those questions and more will be answered at the Cobb Schools Dual Enrollment Summit scheduled for 6:00–8:00 PM on August 31 at the Cobb Civic Center.
The Dual Enrollment program offers Georgia high school students an opportunity to simultaneously receive high school and college credit when attending and passing approved college classes. The state pays for the courses and are at no cost to the student when college eligibility requirements are met. Dual enrollment is available online or on the college campus, depending on the student’s choice.
Dual enrollment offers a diversity of opportunities for students. High-demand trade skills such as welding, auto mechanics, and digital technology (to name a few) are readily available for those seeking to be career-ready while still in high school.
Other students interested in accelerated courses, such as multivariable calculus, that may not be available at their high schools will gain an edge on college readiness. A large variety of academic-based classes are available.
The purpose of the Summit is to provide a venue for interested high school students and parents to learn more about eligibility, the application process, and the many diverse opportunities available to Cobb students.
Students will learn how the dual enrollment program can earn them free tuition, books, and college credit. Cobb school counselors and representatives from Chattahoochee Technical College, Georgia Tech, Kennesaw State University, and Georgia Highlands College will be on-site to chat with families at the summit.
