Dual Enrollment (DE), by its nature, places much responsibility on the student rather than the parent. Therefore, it is the STUDENT'S responsibility to ensure that all steps are followed.

ALL participating Dual Enrollment Students for the spring of 2025 must be complete the steps on the checklist by their deadlines. Applications may need to be submitted earlier depending on the college application deadline.

The process will open again in the spring for students wanting to take DE classed in the summer or fall semester of 2025. Please be on the lookout for information sent late Jan/early Feb via email and in our weekly newsletter when the process opens for summer/fall 2025

Research the college where you would like to Dual Enroll (scroll down to see some options of "Where Can I Take Dual Enrollment Classes?"), what their DE Admissions requirements are, and which courses you'd like to take (Dual Enrollment course directory linked here).
Apply to the college's Dual Enrollment program and submit all necessary required documents before the college's and Wheeler's deadline (see Wheeler's deadline below) *We will submit your transcript for you once you request it as indicated on the checklist (linked above), but you must submit everything else the college requires. Wheeler does not apply to the college for you.
***ALL STUDENTS (new and returning DE students) Complete the Dual Enrollment Local School Agreement form linked here and Student Advisement Plan linked here
Submit the COMPLETED and SIGNED Local School Agreement here
You will bring your Student Advisement Plan (SAP) linked here to your Advisement Meeting. Please have your parent complete their section BEFORE you bring the form to your Advisement Meeting. See directions here of what to complete on the SAP BEFORE your Advisement Meeting.
***ALL STUDENTS (new and returning DE students) must sign up to attend an Advisement Meeting. DO NOT make a Counseling Appointment for this. Please refer to the Dual Enrollment Advisement options on the checklist (linked at the top) to determine which Advisement Meeting session meets your needs and use the appropriate link in the checklist to sign up for your Advisement Meeting. Viewing the Online Information Session, scoring 100 on the quiz, and uploading your Local School Agreement must be completed BEFORE your Advisement Meeting.
New DE students - Complete the GaFutures Funding application (must be completed once a school year so fall DE students do not need to complete one for spring semester, but if you are new to DE this spring, then you do need to complete the funding application.) Be sure to choose Wheeler Senior High School as your school, NOT Wheeler County.
Returning DE students - if you are changing where you are taking your DE classes for the spring, then you need to update your GA Futures funding application and add the new college. If you are continuing at the same college, you don't need to do anything with your funding application.
