Download our Flyer
The Dual
Enrollment-HOPE Program is a collaborative effort between the
Georgia Department of Education
(DOE) and the
Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education
(DTAE). The purpose of the Dual Enrollment-HOPE Program is to offer
additional educational opportunities for high school (secondary) students.
Students receive both high school credit and from Swainsboro Technical
College (postsecondary) while still in high school.
Courses specified as Dual Enrollment-HOPE must be a part of a required course within a technical certificate of credit or diploma program awarded by Swainsboro Technical College. Secondary students who enroll as Dual Enrollment-HOPE students must be 16 years of age, classified as a high school junior or senior, and have met all technical college admission requirements for the selected program of study. Dual enrolled secondary course objectives are aligned with corresponding postsecondary courses. DTAE will not offer courses that directly compete with secondary courses. The intent of the Dual Enrollment-HOPE Program is to offer new opportunities for secondary students rather than duplicate or supplant those programs already offered in the high school. Core academic courses are not to be counted as Dual Enrollment-HOPE.
DUAL ENROLLMENT-Associate Degree Programs (ACCEL)
The purpose of the ACCEL Program is to provide Georgia high school students
with the opportunity to earn college degree-level credit hours, as
they simultaneously meet their high school graduation requirements. Many
students are able to successfully complete most of the academically
meaningful coursework available at the high school level as early the 10th
grade. This program offers these students the option to begin working toward
a college degree, while still pursuing a high school diploma.
Courses pursued by students under this program must come from the approved course directory which is supplied to high school counselors in the state. Courses are available only in the areas of the core graduation requirements for college preparatory students: English, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, Foreign Language.
