The DUAL ENROLLMENT program is an opportunity for qualified high school students to simultaneously earn college and high school credit while enrolled at Centennial High School as a high school student.
Students may participate as a full-time or part- time student.
Students earn college credits while meeting high school graduation requirements.
Colleges/Universities decide, independently, how they
will use dual enrollment credits. Credits may fulfill
collegiate core/major course requirements or elective
course requirements. It is the responsibility of the
student/family to review the dual enrollment policy of
their college(s) of interest.
WITH THE GATRACS COLLEGE CREDIT TRANSFER TOOL, YOU
CAN SEARCH CREDIT TRANSFER OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH
GEORGIA’S UNIVERSITY SYSTEM, TECHNICAL COLLEGE
SYSTEM, AND INDEPENDENT COLLEGES.
✓If colleges provide the high school with letter grades, Centennial will transcribe the letter grade to a numeric grade in accordance with District Board Policy IH, VII:
A = 95
B = 85
C = 75
D = 70 (IF CREDIT BEARING)
F = 60
✓ If the student fails a class, it could
jeopardize graduation! The failing
grade is reported to both the
college & high school transcript
✓ 7 points are added to the final
grade
✓ All dual enrollment classes are
included on both the high school &
college transcript.
► 1 - 2 semester hour college classes = .5 HS credit.
► 3 - 5 semester hour college classes = 1.0 HS credit.

Transferable General Education Courses
An articulation agreement is an officially approved
agreement between two institutions, which allows students
to apply credits earned in specific programs at one
institution toward advanced standing, entry or transfer into
a specific program at another institution. Such agreements
help students make a smooth transition from one
institution to another by minimizing duplication of
coursework. Because articulation agreements are between
institutions, they do not require students to make individual arrangements.

QUESTION ANSWER
If my student earns college credit through
Dual Enrollment, are they then considered
a transfer student when applying to
college?
No; students who take college courses in high school are still considered
traditional freshman applicants. They should not complete the college
transfer application.
Will COLLEGE ENGLISH be offered on
the Centennial High School campus?
Yes; students may request to take College English on the Centennial High
School campus. GSU-Perimeter instructors will teach the course from the CHS
campus. Students must meet GSU Dual Enrollment participation requirements.
Are the academic calendars for Fulton
County Schools and the Dual Enrollment
institution the same?
No; students must abide by the academic calendar of their Dual Enrollment
institution.
Will there be bus transportation to/from
Gwinnett Technical College or Georgia
State University?
Bus transportation will not be provided for the 2020-2021 school year; thus,
all students/parents should plan to secure independent transportation to/from
their Dual Enrollment institution of choice.
What type student is most successful? Students should be remarkably self-motivated, responsible and studious.
