Students who are not eligible for Georgia’s Dual Enrollment Funding Program will need to complete a Self-Pay Course Approval Form.
University System of Georgia Policy 4.3.4 requires that any student requesting to pay at the in-state tuition rate provide verification of their lawful presence in the United States in order to be classified as an in-state student or awarded an out-of-state tuition waiver. Visit the Verification of Lawful Presence webpage for more information.
Students who meet regular admissions requirements—i.e. are on-track to complete the required high school curriculum (RHSC) from an accredited high school should follow instructions for Dual Enrollment admissions.

In addition to being on-track to complete their required high school curriculum, PSAT, Pre-ACT, SAT or ACT must be submitted.
Though not required, applicants are encouraged to submit a student portfolio with any additional/supplemental information that will assist with our academic evaluation.
