Dual Enrollment for High School Students

Dual Enrollment introduces students to college-level coursework and allows for potential career exploration. Students must be enrolled in a participating Georgia high school or approved home-study program.

11th and 12th graders are eligible to take any approved course. New 10th graders may take career courses listed on the Course Directory or have required SAT or ACT scores to take core courses. Eligible 9th graders may participate. However, there is no state funding available for 9th grade students.

Dual Enrollment & Other Opportunities

Students receive college and high school credit for either academic core or technical classes. Full-time and part-time schedules are allowed. Students may take classes during the Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters.

Submit Placement Test Scores

Submit placement test scores. NGTC is a testing optional institution, and an appropriate high school GPA can be used in lieu of a placement test like an SAT or ACT. If you have taken the SAT or ACT and would like to submit those scores, you will need to contact the College Board to send them directly to our offices.

If you need to take a placement test at NGTC, you have the option of taking the ACCUPLACER test free of charge. North Georgia Technical College uses ACCUPLACER placement tests to identify academic skills and needs. These tests include sections on reading comprehension, writing skills, and basic math. Algebra is required for some programs. ACCUPLACER placement tests are taken on a computer; it is un-timed and testers may use the calculator that is provided on the ACCUPLACER exam.
