Interested in Participating in Dual Enrollment?
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. In order to apply for Dual Enrollment, you (the student) must complete ALL of the steps listed on the checklist.
Dual Enrollment for Spring 2026 is now closed.
Please check back here in February when the application will open for Summer/Fall 2026 classes.
Important Reminders
Dual Enrollment is best suited for students who are proactive, organized, and responsible
Students MUST have reliable transportation to participate in Dual Enrollment because they cannot be on Wheeler's campus when they have a Dual Enrollment class on their Wheeler schedule. The ONLY exception to this is the DE Patient Care class that is here on Wheeler's campus.
ALL participating Dual Enrollment Students (new and returning) for the spring 2026 semester must be complete the steps on Wheeler's checklist (linked below) by their deadlines. College applications for their Dual Enrollment program may need to be submitted earlier so please check your college's deadlines and plan accordingly!
Be sure you are completing the college’s Dual Enrollment application (there may be a checkbox you have to mark to say you are a DE student). Your acceptance email should mention Dual Enrollment in it. If it doesn’t, please see Ms. Nelson and Mrs. Christmas immediately.
Email both Ms. Nelson and Mrs. Christmas with any questions/concerns and be sure to "Reply All" if one of us emails you. holly.nelson1@cobbk12.org jari.christmas@cobbk12.org
Starting Summer 2025 - ECON 1101 is the only DE Econ class that will meet graduation requirements. Chatt Tech & KSU will be offering this class, however KSU's will only be available as an eCore class. It's important to note that eCore classes are different from regular online classes at KSU and some colleges won't accept eCore credits. You need to check with the college you want to attend to determine if they will accept eCore.
Pro-tip: After reading through all the steps in the checklist linked below, go ahead and register for your Advisement Session using the appropriate link in the checklist below by picking a date that is several days out. Then start working on the steps you need to complete BEFORE your Advisement Session. Remember, we will not meet with you if you haven't completed all the steps required before your Advisement Session.
You MUST use the link in the DE Checklist to sign-up for your Dual Enrollment Advisement (it will take you to a Sign-Up Genius page). DO NOT use the counseling appointment link on our website to schedule your DE Advisement. It will be canceled.
