Dual Enrollment

Dual enrollment is available to students who meet specific qualifications. These students have the
opportunity to finish high school while attending a college or technical school. Dual enrollment is a way
for students to accelerate and gain college credit while still in high school. Students may obtain
information concerning these options by contacting a Discovery Regional High School counselor.
Dual Enrollment is designed to prepare students for college and career opportunities leading students
to postsecondary institutions for an industry recognized certification or licensure, an associate and/or
higher college degree, and successful employment. Georgia has created a singular program known as
Dual Enrollment for students in grades 10-12 who qualify to participate. Students may enroll on a part
time or full-time basis as a Dual Enrollment student and take college courses at their high school or on
a postsecondary campus. Students will receive high school and college credit simultaneously when
attending and passing approved college classes.

High School Graduation Option A offers qualified students in grades 11-12 the traditional Dual
Enrollment path to attend high school and participate in college courses to receive a high school
diploma at graduation.

High School Graduation Accelerated Career Diploma (formerly Option B) offers qualified students in
grades 10-12 a unique path to high school graduation. Students choose to simultaneously earn a high
school diploma and a college Associate Degree, Technical Diploma, or two (2) Technical Certificates of
Credit (TCC’s) in a specific career pathway. Some of the required high school courses may be taken
under the state-funded Dual Enrollment program.

Each site has a Counselor who will assist with Dual Enrollment.
