Dual Enrollment (DE) provides opportunities to Georgia high school students to take college-level courses and earn concurrent credit toward a high school diploma and a college degree while still in high school. This is not the same as becoming a Career Academy student. If you have questions about the Career Academy, please visit the ACCA page.
To begin this process, please submit the Dual Enrollment Request form and schedule an appointment with Ms. Melton. Be sure to check your email for updates.
For more information check out this presentation: bit.ly/CENdualenrollment2024 (please note that the application deadlines are subject to change and you should comminicate with Ms. Melton for the most up to date information).
You will need to register for a full schedule at Clarke Central when you meet with your Advisor during Spring Conferences. Once you are admitted to a Dual Enrollment program, you will work with Ms. Melton to finalize your schedule and determine which courses you will take through Dual Enrollment and which courses you will take at Clarke Central. This process usually occurs during summer break.
Students need to take a college placement exam (SAT or ACT) if required by the college of your choice. The March SAT is the latest you can test in order to have your scores back in time to apply by the application deadline. See information below about the admissions requirements for our partner colleges.
Contact Catherine Melton (meltonc@clarke.k12.ga.us) or at ext. 17298 with any questions.
