  1. Dual enrollment information night January 28, 2019 Archer High School

  2. What is Dual enrollment? Dual Enrollment is a program that provides funding for students at eligible high schools that are enrolled to take approved college-level coursework for credit towards both high school and college graduation requirements.

  3. Benefits of dual enrollment • Students can earn college credits while in high school (reducing cost of college in long run); dual enrollment covers tuition/books/fees • Opportunity for students to exercise independence, communication skills, study skills, organization skills, etc. • Students get a head start on the postsecondary transition • Students can test out a college environment to determine if they want to attend there after high school • State funding for dual enrollment is separate from funds for HOPE Scholarship • Access to unique classes and rigorous courses

  4. A few details…. • Available to all 9th, 10th, 11th or 12th graders • No residency or citizenship requirement • Must meet postsecondary institution’s admission requirements • Cannot have already met graduation requirements nor can a student be a fifth year senior • Eligible for summer study • Student must maintain “Satisfactory Academic Progress" at the college – can be denied participation for violation of college rules.

  5. Considerations Part-time • Combination of AHS and DE classes (5) • DE classes scheduled around the AHS schedule 3 (or more) AHS + 2 DE classes 4 (or more) AHS + 1 DE class Full-time • All classes taken at the college • 4 DE classes required • Still able to participate in athletics (if earn 2.5 credits per semester) • Still considered a AHS student

  6. QUALITIES OF SUCCESSFUL DUAL ENROLLMENT STUDENT • PLANNER/ORGANIZED/PROACTIVE • ONGOING ROUTINE OF STUDYING/AVOIDS PROCRASTINATION • CHECKS COLLEGE EMAIL DAILY • REPLIES TO AHS COUNSELOR AND COLLEGE EMAILS WITHIN 24 HOURS • COMPLETES REQUIRED DE PAPERWORK EACH SEMESTER AND TURNS IT IN EARLY • WILLING AND ABLE TO ASK FOR HELP • FLEXIBLE • HANDLES STRESS WELL • TAKES RESPONSIBILITY

  7. Considerations Some course specific fees must be covered by the student. Colleges communicate with the student – not the parent/guardian or with Archer. Communication is through email. Competitive colleges may not consider dual enrollment courses as rigorous as Advanced Placement. Credit transferability is not guaranteed. Archer announcements/information could be missed. Student may be in classes with adults and be the youngest in the room. Archer’s & the college’s calendar don’t always align. Professors may not excuse absences due to state play-offs, family spring break, etc. Student services (504 Plans, IEP, etc.) must be arranged with the college by the student. Please speak to your case manager prior to enrolling in DE courses. Accommodations given at the college could be different than ones given at Archer. Contact college’s Office of Disability Services for more information.

  8. Considerations Parking is NOT guaranteed for Dual Enrollment students. Have a back-up plan if you don’t get a parking passfor Archer HS. Students are not allowed to be on Archer’s campus on days or periods they don’t have their college classes. Students can’t hang out in the media center or the commons. This includes students taking dual enrollment courses online. If you are unable to leave campus during your assigned dual enrollment courses, you will need to reconsider participating in the program. Students must factor in travel time, parking, traffic, bell schedules, etc. Students will be expected to comply with Archer’s bell schedule and with their college class times. The two don’t always work together. Students should not drop classes after the start of the semester – could result in student being removed from DE Students need to communicate with Assistant Principal in Archer’s Attendance Office ahead of time if their DE end of semester final exam time conflicts with a class time at Archer HS.

  9. Considerations • High School Athletic/Interscholastic Participation: “To be eligible to participate, practice, and/or try out in interscholastic activities, a student must be academically eligible. A student is required to pass classes that carry the equivalent of at least 2.5 Carnegie Units counting toward graduation the semester immediately preceding participation” (Georgia High School Association Constitution and By‐Laws). Other eligibility concerns may be confirmed with the athletic director. • Parents will need to consider whether practices, games, etc. will interfere with the completion of postsecondary course requirements. • Since DE students are considered Archer students, they may still participate in athletics/extracurricular activities as long as they meet the academic requirements, etc. of those activities.

  10. Where can I attend? • A student may apply to attend any participating public college, private college, or technical college in Georgia. • The counselor’s responsibility is to make sure students meet requirements to graduate from high school. The student’s/parent’s responsibility is to research what will transfer to which college/major (high school counselor cannot speak for a college).

  21. How does grading work? 3 to 5 hours = 1 credit on the high school transcript. 1 to 2 hours = .5 credit on the high school transcript. Science labs earn .5 of high school credit and will count toward elective credit. They will not count toward fourth science requirement. There is usually a fee of $25 associated with taking a science lab. This fee is not covered by dual enrollment. Letter grades from the college will be transcribed as: A = 95 B = 85 C = 77 D = 72 F = 55 Additional points are NOT added to the college grade on the high school transcript(exception: 10 pts added for Georgia Institute of Technology distance learning/dual enrollment courses). Students receive a .5 GPA boost for DE courses on their HOPE transcript. All Dual Enrollment courses will be included on the high school transcript – including Ds and Fs. Failing a course or not taking a course required for graduation could result in the student not graduating.

  22. Dropping/changing de classes • Drop/Add period at the beginning of the semester is NOT an option. • Any course changes made at the beginning of the semester must be sent to AHS Counseling. • Colleges will advertise Drop/Add timeframes. • These are for current college students, NOT dual enrollment students. • Dropping courses could result in dual enrollment courses being unavailable the following semester. • Student’s graduation status could be effected if courses are dropped or changed without approval.

  23. Course sequencing • Math class placement determined by SAT/ACT scores. ALGEBRA II MUST BE TAKEN at Archer HS. • College Pre-calculus is a prerequisite for college physics, but it’s best to successfully pass 1.0 credit of physics 1st at Archer HS. Only attempt college physics if you meet college math criteria and you completed 1.0 credit of physics in high school. • Biology I will not count as a 4th science. • History 2111 or History 2112 can count as U.S. History credit. • Macroecon or Microecon can count as Economics credit. • If American Literature not taken at the high school, then take Advanced Composition/Engl 1101, then 1102, then American Literature.

  24. Transferring de credits • It is the student’s responsibility to verify with colleges regarding their policies on accepting transfer credit and how the credit will be used. • The counselor is responsible for advising on courses needed for graduation. • Students need to consult with their post-high school college/university of interest to determine what is accepted, especially institutions that are private and out-of-state colleges & universities.
