Admission for Dual-Enrollment Students
into Georgia State
JOINT ENROLLMENT PROGRAMS.
Dual enrollment students take college courses that satisfy high school and college credits, and the tuition is funded by the Georgia Student Finance Commission.
Joint enrollment students take courses that typically earn college credit only, and students are responsible for their own tuition and fees.
One program, two options.
At Georgia State, you can join the Dual Enrollment Program through Perimeter College or the Atlanta Campus. Dual enrollment students at Perimeter College can take courses at any of our five Perimeter campuses or online. 1000- and 2000-level courses only are available through Perimeter. Dual enrollment students on the Atlanta Campus only take classes downtown and have a few options for 3000- and 4000-level courses. View Perimeter College’s dual enrollment admissions requirements.
