Dual Enrollment

Academic Responsibility

Dual Enrolled students are responsible for monitoring your progress and grades in each class you are registered for. Make sure you read the syllabus and are familiar with grading policies and procedures. You are also expected to follow the UNG Student Code of Conduct and violations of it (i.e. plagiarism, cheating, etc.) will be grounds for Dual Enrollment Program dismissal.

As a UNG student, you can access and are encouraged to use all student resources. These resources include Student Accessibility Services, Student Counseling, Tutoring, and the Writing Lab. Learn more about available student resources.

Attendance 

Attendance is mandatory for all Dual Enrollment courses that have a designated day and time for the class meeting, and students must adhere to UNG’s holiday and break schedule which may differ from the high school. Numerous absences may result in being administratively withdrawn from the course.

Regular login to asynchronous online courses is highly recommended. Students enrolled in online classes must take an Attendance Quiz (per class) and participate in at least one activity (per class) during the first week of the semester. If a student does not participate, they may be administratively withdrawn from the class.

Eligible Courses

Courses that are available to UNG students and for which you satisfy the prerequisites are considered eligible courses. Note that the Dual Enrollment program will only pay for courses listed on the GAfutures’ Dual Enrollment Course Directory.

If a student wishes to take a course not on the Dual Enrollment Course Directory, the student must meet the course prerequisite, have approval from the high school counselor as well as the Dual Enrollment Advisor, and will be responsible for payment of tuition, fees, and the textbook.

Registration Process

When registration for a semester opens, the steps below must be completed in order for a student to be registered for approved classes. Both newly accepted and continuing students are prevented from self-registering, adding/dropping classes, withdrawing from classes, or any other registration related activity. The student must schedule an advising appointment with the Dual Enrollment Advisor to make any changes to their class schedule for the semester based on course availability. 

New Dual Enrollment Student Checklist

Returning Dual Enrollment Student Checklist

• Speak with your high school counselor or home study official to confirm course recommendations and high school or home study requirements. The student is expected to know how many classes they are enrolling for the semester, which classes (subjects) to take, and what days and time the student is available.
• Submit a GAfutures Dual Enrollment funding application through the GAfutures website if not already completed for the school year. The academic year for the funding application runs summer, fall, spring. The next year’s funding application is made available in February and must be completed prior to registering for Fall semester classes. If a student plans to partially or fully self-pay for a course, the non-state funded course approval form must be completed with all required signatures prior to course registration.
• Complete the advising agreement sent via email and make sure it has been electronically signed and submitted. The student will receive an email copy of the agreement for future reference.
• Make sure holds are resolved and cleared. The “DE-Dual Enrolled Student” hold is the only hold that should be listed on the student’s account. All other holds must be resolved before the student can be registered for courses. Reference the Student Holds website for an explanation of other holds and how to remove them.
• Log in to the UNG Advising Appointment System to schedule an appointment with a Dual Enrollment Advisor. Advising appointments are available Monday – Friday during normal business hours. Dates to schedule advising appointments for course registration will be provided via email by the assigned Dual Enrollment Advisor.

Final Grades 

The final grade reported on the UNG official transcript is a letter of A, B, C, D, F, W, or WF.  

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)

A Dual Enrollment student must maintain a 2.50 or higher post-secondary GPA and complete 67% of all attempted classes to remain in good academic standing.

A student who earns a 2.0 to 2.49 overall GPA at the end of a semester will have one semester to raise their overall GPA to a 2.50. The student is also required to complete an academic success plan with a Dual Enrollment Advisor by the start of the next semester. Failure to earn an overall GPA of 2.50 or higher will result in dismissal from the UNG Dual Enrollment program. 

A student who earns below a 2.0 overall GPA at the end of a semester will be immediately dismissed from the Dual Enrollment program.

Transcripts

UNG will provide an official transcript at the end of the semester to the student’s high school at no cost to the student. Transcripts are typically sent the week after the scheduled finals week. 

A student who needs an official transcript sent to another college must make this request via UNG’s official transcript request process. The transcript fee does apply.  

For eligible students, Dual Enrollment funding covers the cost of the standard tuition rate for bachelor’s degree courses, semester fees, and required textbooks.
