Enroll in HGTC PACE Program

What is a Dual Credit Course?

Dual credit is the opportunity for high school students to earn college credit while still in high school. A qualified college instructor provides rigorous content aligned with college coursework through the regional post-secondary institutions Horry Georgetown Technical College (HGTC). Upon completion of the course, students can earn both high school credit as well as college credit that is reflected in a transcript from the post-secondary institution.

Because of the nature of post-secondary partnership agreements, qualifications of instructors, and staffing, in some circumstances we might not be able to offer dual credit aligned with high school courses. It should be known that when students enroll in a high school dual credit-articulated course, it is not guaranteed they will receive college credit.

How to Enroll in the PACE Program

The PACE/Dual Enrollment Application Process

Complete the PACE Online Application and sign the supplemental forms in your online application account.

• Parent Agreement - signed by your parent or legal guardian

• Verification of Citizenship + upload your ID (if your DMV issued ID says “Not for Federal Identification”, you will need to use your SS card or passport instead).

Once you have submitted your online application, please submit your test scores to your school Counselor for approval and course selections (see course info below). If you do not have test scores, or scores do not meet the minimum requirements, the high school transcript submitted by your Counselor will be used for multiple measure review.

HGTC staff will review your online application, all supplemental forms, test scores or transcript, Counselor approval, and verify your residency. Once admitted, you will receive an official Acceptance Letter in the mail.

Note:  Priority deadlines for Fall and Spring semester are May 1 and November 1.
