Before beginning the dual enrollment program, you must attend one of the dual enrollment meetings hosted at the high school. See Coach Clayton for details.
The steps outlined below need to be completed IN THIS ORDER before students register for classes. If you don't follow the steps in order, you can get lost in the system and end up having to start over.
There is a lot of information here. Read carefully. READ TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.
ACCELERATED CAREER: If you are interested in pursuing the ACCELERATED CAREER PATHWAY, that program isn't something you simply sign up for. Spaces are limited. If you are interested, your FIRST STEP is to schedule a meeting with Mrs. Rutherford in the HCHS College & Career Academy. If you are interested in traditional dual enrollment, proceed to STEP ONE.
STEP ONE: Apply to the college you want to take your dual enrollment courses through. DON'T USE YOUR SCHOOL EMAIL! USE YOUR PERSONAL EMAIL!
The two best choices are The University of West Georgia or West Georgia Technical College.
Neither is better. It's about which is right for you and your path. Speak to Coach Clayton if you'd like some help in making the decision.
To apply to the University of West Georgia, begin by clicking HERE.

Accelerated Career NOTE: If you are interested in pursuing the ACCELERATED CAREER PATHWAY, STOP HERE. You MUST schedule a meeting with Mrs. Rutherford before completing the next steps. She will give you the go ahead to proceed.
STEP TWO: Complete your GaFutures Funding application
If you need help, click HERE for directions on how to do that.
ACCELERATED CAREER STUDENTS: you have a different application on the GaFutures site, called the GSFAPP. See Coach Clayton or Mrs. Rutherford for details.
STEP THREE: After completing your college application AND your GaFutures application, REQUEST A TRANSCRIPT.
To do this, you either go see Coach Clayton or email him (Michael.Clayton@haralson.k12.ga.us).
Tell him something along the lines of "My name is ___________. I have completed my dual enrollment application and my GaFutures. Could you please send my transcript to name your college/university. "
If you don't receive a reply from him by the end of the next school day, email him again.
STEP FOUR: ACCEPTANCE.
Within a week or so of sending your transcript, you should receive an acceptance letter or email. Yay. You're a college student now.
READ ALL OF THE EMAILS AND INFORMATION THE COLLEGE SENDS YOU!!!
They will send you information about setting up your emails and orientation and getting started.
IF you don't get your acceptance within two weeks, log into your college account and check the status of your application. If you don't know how to do that, call and email the college admissions office and ask about the status of your application.
STEP FIVE: LOG IN TO EVERYTHING.
Make sure you can log in to your college email, Bannerweb, Blackboard, or whatever your college or university uses to communicate information to students. This is on you. The high school can't help you with personal login information. Do this well before classes start.
Check all email regularly, personal, high school, and college. If you don't and you miss something, that is on you.
START CHECKING THE DUAL ENROLLMENT GOOGLE CLASSROOM REGULARLY!!
This is the only way Coach Clayton has to send important information out to the whole group.
This is how you will know important dates, such as registration times/places.
PLAN TO GO TO ORIENTATION. The college will send you information about orientation. Read it. Failure to attend will mean that you miss out on basic things you need to know about. If you don't go and you don't know something important, that is on you.
STEP SIX: REGISTER FOR CLASSES.
Procedures regarding how to begin the registration process will always begin with postings on the Dual Enrollment Google Classroom.
Or, if you have done everything, follow the "Registering for Classes" link on the home page.
