Dual Enrollment

Dual Enrollment at Atlanta Metropolitan State College

Atlanta Metropolitan State College's Dual Enrollment Program (formerly Move on When Ready) is designed for high school students who are entering college while still completing high school coursework. Student must have one semester of high school credit to participate in the program. Please seek approval from your high school counselor before beginning the application process. It is important to note that the Dual Enrollment Program covers tuition, most fees, and books. Some fees, such as a science lab fee, are the responsibility of the student.

Admission Criteria

Test Score Requirements:
New SAT (taken March 2016 or later)

Students taking the new SAT must present a minimum score of 24 on the Reading test and a minimum score of 25.5 on the Math test (470 on the new SAT Math section). In addition, students taking the new SAT must present scores that meet or exceed the equivalent of 970 (combined Critical Reading + Math) on the old SAT. This determination will be made by converting a student's new SAT Reading test score to the comparable old SAT Critical Reading section score and converting the new SAT Math test score (or equivalent new SAT Math section score) to the comparable old SAT Math section score. The sum of those two scores must meet or exceed the old SAT 970 minimum.

Students may wish to use the College Board's New SAT to Old SAT Score Converter to determine if their new SAT scores meet or exceed the equivalent of the 970 minimum on the old SAT. Once the new SAT scores are converted to the comparable old SAT scores using the converter, students should add together the Critical Reading and Math section scores only (the Writing section score should not be included).

Old SAT (taken prior to March 2016)
Minimum SAT score of 970 (combined Critical Reading and Math) with at least 430 Critical Reading and 400 Math

ACT
Minimum ACT Composite score of 20 with at least 17 English and 17 Math

Additional Requirements:

  • A minimum cumulative high school grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 in academic subjects as calculated by the institution for admission purposes.
  • Students must be on-track towards the completion of the USG Required High School Curriculum (RHSC).
  • Students must submit a completed Student Participation Agreement signed by the student, parent/guardian and high school counselor
