Dual Enrollment
INTERESTED IN FREE COLLEGE?
Dual Enrollment is an excellent opportunity for students to earn high school and college credits at the same time!
The first step in participating in Dual Enrollment is meeting with Mrs. Spoon in the counseling office to see if you qualify.
Dual enrollment provides opportunities for high school students to take college courses and earn credit at both high school and post-secondary institutions. Students attending Whitfield County Schools may take dual enrollment courses during their junior and/or senior year of high school. Some 10th graders may take CTAE classes through GNTC.
