High school juniors and seniors, including home-school students, have access to a number of opportunities for enhancing their high school curriculum and to earn college credit prior to their high school graduation.
Show All Hide AllIf you are enrolled in an eligible Georgia high school, you may qualify to participate in the Dual Enrollment program. Georgia's Dual Enrollment program provides eligible high school students the opportunity to enroll in college or university prior to their high school graduation and to take courses which result in both college and high school credit. Tuition, books and mandatory fees are paid for by the Dual Enrollment program. Students participating in the program are not permitted to live in the residence halls.
You may supplement and enhance your high school curriculum by enrolling in college courses as a joint enrollment student. Courses taken through joint enrollment result in college but not high school credit. You are responsible for your tuition, books, course-related fees and all mandatory fees. If you wish to attend as a joint enrollment student, you must meet the Dual Enrollment program requirements. Students participating in joint enrollment are not permitted to live in the residence halls.

Apply for admission online: GAFutures. If you cannot apply online, download a paper application. The application fee is waived for dual enrollment applicants.
Ask your high school to send us your official high school transcript, either directly from the high school to us in a sealed envelope, or electronically through GAfutures. If you took any college course, submit an official transcript from each institution you attended. We must receive the transcripts in sealed envelopes directly from the institutions or through a secure electronic system such as E-Script or Parchment. You may not omit any institution you attended. If you're attending a non-accredited home-school program, you must either submit a Home School Summary Form (PDF), or the SAT II subject test with minimum scores: English Writing - 520; World History - 540; Literature - 530; Biology - 480; Math 1C or IIC - 500; Chemistry - 540 - or Physics - 590; American History & Social Studies - 560.
SAT and ACT test scores must be sent electronically through the College Board or ACT. Test scores printed on high school or college transcripts will not be accepted.
You may request the College Board to send your SAT scores to account #5497, or your ACT scores to account #0848, regardless of which campus you want to attend. Test scores printed on high school or college transcripts will not be accepted.
High School Counselors can submit student PSAT or PACT scores at the following email address: PSAT@ung.edu.
Submit your verification of lawful presence documentation if you wish to pay in-state tuition. This is not required if you pay out-of-state tuition. Out-of-state tuition is much higher than in-state tuition. Admission to UNG is not contingent upon proof of lawful presence. If you no longer wish to be considered for tuition at the in-state rate, please contact us so that we can remove the requirement from your record.
Continue to monitor your application status as you are completing steps 1-5 to ensure we have received all required documents. Check your application status.
Q: I won't receive my SAT/ACT scores until after the UNG application deadline. What happens now?
A: You have the option to take the Accuplacer in-person on our Blue Ridge, Dahlonega, and Gainesville Campuses or on-line virtually. The exams are offered weekly. Note that scores from Accuplacer exams are only good for one year at our institution. Refer to our University Testing Center website for detailed information. Or, if you have PSAT/PACT scores, your high school counselor can submit your PSAT or PACT scores at the following email address: PSAT@ung.edu. Q: Where will the college course credit I earn transfer?
A: To most four-year colleges and universities. Q: What courses are available for me to take?
A: Any courses to which UNG students have access, and for which you meet the course prerequisites. Please note that the Dual Enrollment program will only pay for courses from the approved course list. Q: After I graduate from high school, how do I become a student at UNG?
A: To continue at UNG after high school graduation, you must complete a Dual Enrollment Program Intent Form by the specified deadline date for the term and campus you wish to be considered. You do not need to complete a new application for admission or submit an application fee. Please note that admission to a bachelor’s degree program is highly competitive and that admission is based on that year’s applicant pool. If you are ineligible for a bachelor’s degree program, you will automatically be considered for the associate degree pathway with the opportunity to internally transfer to a bachelor’s degree program at a later time. Q: How do I schedule my classes?
A: You work with your high school guidance counselor and your UNG dual enrollment advisor. Q: How many courses can I take?
A: You may take as many courses as you like; however, Dual Enrollment program will pay for up to 30 credit hours. Q: Do my dual enrollment courses count against my HOPE scholarship cap after I graduate from high school?
A: No. HOPE covers 127 credit hours for bachelor's degree students and 90 credit hours for associate degree students. The courses you take while dual enrolled will not reduce your cap. Q: Can I dual enroll in the Dual Enrollment program at more than one college/university simultaneously?
A: Yes. You must apply for admission to each institution and submit a separate Dual Enrollment Program Student Participation Agreement (PDF) for each institution. Dual Enrollment program will pay for mandatory fees, tuition and books at each institution. Q: Are dual-enrollment students allowed to live on campus?
A: No, students participating in dual-enrollment at UNG are not eligible to live in the residence halls.
