Students have the opportunity to take college courses to simultaneously satisfy high school graduation requirements while earning college credit. If you are a Georgia resident, you may qualify to participate in dual enrollment. Georgia’s programs, administered by the Georgia Student Finance Commission, provides eligible students with awards for their tuition and approved fees, for eligible college courses taken prior to their high school graduation. The tuition and eligible fees are paid for by Georgia's Dual Enrollment program.
Steps to Dual Enrollment:
Step 1: Consult with your high school counselor and review UNG's dual enrollment website.

Step 2: Apply for admission online: GAFutures. If you cannot apply online, download a paper application. The application fee is waived for dual enrollment applicants.
Step 3: Ask your high school to send us your official high school transcript, either directly from the high school to us in a sealed envelope, or electronically through GAfutures.
Step 4: SAT and ACT test scores must be sent electronically through the College Board or ACT. Test scores printed on high school or college transcripts will not be accepted. You may request the College Board to send your SAT scores to account #5497, or your ACT scores to account #0848, regardless of which campus you want to attend. Test scores printed on high school or college transcripts will not be accepted.
Step 5: Submit your verification of lawful presence documentation if you wish to pay in-state tuition. This is not required if you pay out-of-state tuition. Out-of-state tuition is much higher than in-state tuition. Admission to UNG is not contingent upon proof of lawful presence.
