What
is Dual Enrollment?
Dual Enrollment is a program that offers you the
opportunity to earn college credit and high school
credit at the same time. Qualified students of
the Colquitt, Tift, Turner, or Worth county school
systems earn post-secondary and Carnegie unit
credit while concurrently enrolled in a high school
class. Dual Enrollment allows students to experience
post-secondary courses, facilitating a smooth
transition as they graduate from high school and
continue their education in college.
Who
is eligible for Dual Enrollment?
1. Students who have successfully completed ninth
grade or above and/or are currently enrolled in
a career and technical education course at the
high school level.
2. Students who have successfully met the Moultrie
Technical College admission requirements.
3. Students who have parental permission to be
enrolled in the Dual Enrollment program.
4. Students who are interested in pursuing a technical
degree after graduation.
How
do I enroll?
See your high school counselor or contact us for
the necessary application forms and information
about the Dual Enrollment program.
Do
I have to take a test?
Yes. All students must take the ASSET or the SAT.
Testing is completed at your home high school.
It takes about 90 minutes to take the test which
covers English, Math, and Reading.
What
is the ASSET test?
The ASSET is a 90-minute placement test consisting
of English, Math, and Reading. It is administered
by the recruiter from Moultrie Technical College

similar to the high school graduation test.
What score must I make
on the ASSET test to be accepted into the Dual
Enrollment program?

Your ASSET score is good for five years.
What
programs are available for Dual Enrollment?
Program availability varies from high school to
high school so ask your counselor to find out
if the program you want is available at your school.
How
are my grades determined?
You receive a high school grade and a college
grade. Both grades are based on your mastery of
the subject matter. The high school grade you
receive applies toward satisfying your high school
graduation requirements. The grade you receive
from the college is applied toward satisfying
the requirements of a college certificate or diploma.
