The DUAL ENROLLMENT program is an opportunity for qualified high school students to simultaneously earn college and high school credit while enrolled at Centennial High School as a high school student.

Students may participate as a full-time or part- time student.

Students earn college credits while meeting high school graduation requirements.

Colleges/Universities decide, independently, how they

will use dual enrollment credits. Credits may fulfill

collegiate core/major course requirements or elective

course requirements. It is the responsibility of the

student/family to review the dual enrollment policy of

their college(s) of interest.

WITH THE GATRACS COLLEGE CREDIT TRANSFER TOOL, YOU

CAN SEARCH CREDIT TRANSFER OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH

GEORGIA’S UNIVERSITY SYSTEM, TECHNICAL COLLEGE

SYSTEM, AND INDEPENDENT COLLEGES.

✓If colleges provide the high school with letter grades, Centennial will transcribe the letter grade to a numeric grade in accordance with District Board Policy IH, VII:

A = 95

B = 85

C = 75

D = 70 (IF CREDIT BEARING)

F = 60

✓ If the student fails a class, it could

jeopardize graduation! The failing

grade is reported to both the

college & high school transcript

✓ 7 points are added to the final

grade

✓ All dual enrollment classes are

included on both the high school &

college transcript.

► 1 - 2 semester hour college classes = .5 HS credit.

► 3 - 5 semester hour college classes = 1.0 HS credit.

*Science labs will receive .5 HS credit and will count toward HS elective credit. They will not count towards the fourth science requirement. *

participate; however, colleges may have

age/grade requirements as part of their

admissions policy.

Transferable General Education Courses

An articulation agreement is an officially approved

agreement between two institutions, which allows students

to apply credits earned in specific programs at one

institution toward advanced standing, entry or transfer into

a specific program at another institution. Such agreements

help students make a smooth transition from one

institution to another by minimizing duplication of

coursework. Because articulation agreements are between

institutions, they do not require students to make individual arrangements.

QUESTION ANSWER

If my student earns college credit through

Dual Enrollment, are they then considered

a transfer student when applying to

college?

No; students who take college courses in high school are still considered

traditional freshman applicants. They should not complete the college

transfer application.

Will COLLEGE ENGLISH be offered on

the Centennial High School campus?

Yes; students may request to take College English on the Centennial High

School campus. GSU-Perimeter instructors will teach the course from the CHS

campus. Students must meet GSU Dual Enrollment participation requirements.

Are the academic calendars for Fulton

County Schools and the Dual Enrollment

institution the same?

No; students must abide by the academic calendar of their Dual Enrollment

institution.

Will there be bus transportation to/from

Gwinnett Technical College or Georgia

State University?

Bus transportation will not be provided for the 2020-2021 school year; thus,

all students/parents should plan to secure independent transportation to/from

their Dual Enrollment institution of choice.

What type student is most successful? Students should be remarkably self-motivated, responsible and studious.
