FAQ

What classes can I take?

When we meet for your advisement session, we will discuss classes. However, to prepare, you can research classes using the course directory - https://www.gafutures.org/checs/dualenrollment/DECourseDirectory. Please take note that all classes you take within conjunction with your Kell classes need to keep you on track for graduation and some may require prerequisites. The American Lit EOC is required whether you take the course at Kell or at the college level.

I haven't taken American Lit or Algebra II. Can I still do Dual Enrollment?

Yes, as long as you meet the requirements for admission to your desired college. If you have not yet taken Algebra II, you will not meet the prerequisites for Dual Enrollment Math courses.

When can I schedule my advisement meeting?

Once you have completed Steps 1-7, you may contact Ms. Von Lanken to set up an advisement session. The deadline for next school year (Summer 2022, Fall 2022, Spring 2023) is March 15th. Step 7 must be completed by March 15th. Please plan ahead.

When do I have to turn in my detailed schedule?

May 11th for the Fall Semester

December 1st for Spring Semester

Check out www.gatracs.org or your desired college to see.

Can I do Dual Enrollment as a 10th grader?

Students in the 10th grade with an SAT score of 1200 or an ACT score of 26 prior to the term may enroll in any approved dual enrollment courses at a TCSG, USG or private eligible participating postsecondary institution.

How many credit hours can I use as a Dual Enrollment Student?

30 credit hours. This equates to about 10 classes.

What happens if I don't turn in my detailed schedule?

It will be assumed that you changed your mind about DE. You will be given a Kell HS class schedule. If you think you're full time DE, but didn't turn in a schedule and don't come to school, it will look like you're skipping and you may be administratively withdrawn. You MUST turn in your schedule. This is your way of telling Kell what classes you are taking and when so our scheduler can do their best to work with your DE schedule.

What if my schedule between my high school and college won't work?

Your High School schedule comes first. You will either need to adjust the times of your classes or withdraw from DE. When choosing your class times, it is suggested to have a copy of the Kell Bell Schedule with you to know if you'll have enough time to get from one location to the other.

Can I participate in extracurriculars?

Yes, however it is the student's responsibility to ensure extracurriculars don't interfere with college courses or attendance. DE professors do not have to give makeups or alternate assignments.

Can my mom apply to DE for me?

No. Students should take the lead with parents/guardians available for support.

Can my mom email my professor?

No. College professors only communicate with students using their student email addresses.
