Admission for Dual-Enrollment Students into Georgia State

GEORGIA STATE OFFERS DUAL ENROLLMENT AND
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.

Frequently Asked Questions

VIEW MORE FAQS

Can I live on campus as a dual enrollment student?

No, we do not allow high school students to live on campus in University Housing.

Can I take online or distance dual enrollment courses through Georgia State University?

Dual Enrollment students on the Atlanta Campus are not permitted to take classes online. Students are required to be on campus for all their classes.

If you would like to take classes online through one of our Perimeter campuses, apply as a Perimeter College Dual Enrollment student.

Do I need to take the Math, Chemistry or Foreign Language Placement Exam?

Dual enrollment students must take the Math Placement if they plan to take Math 1111 (College Algebra) or higher. If you are not sure if you will be required to take the placement exam you can speak with your high school counselor about the classes you will take and speak with your academic adviser during Dual Enrollment Orientation for more information.

I am a dual enrollment student at another college/university. Should I apply as a transfer student or incoming freshman? Will my credits transfer?

Current high school students must apply as an incoming Freshman. Once you begin the enrollment process, we will articulate your credits from the college transcript and move you to the appropriate college status (freshman, sophomore, or junior). If you attend a college/university after graduating high school, you will be required to apply as a Transfer student.

To find out what credits will be accepted in transfer toward a degree program at Georgia State, please visit our website to select your school and view what we are currently accepting. Any credits not listed on the Transfer Equivalency Chart will have to be evaluated after your application has been submitted.
