Dual-Enrollment Students

In modern education, there’s no reason for qualified high school students to wait to begin their collegiate career. That’s why Piedmont University offers dual-enrollment programs, so that advanced high school students can get a jump on some of the best educational opportunities available in north Georgia.

Piedmont’s dual enrollment program allows current high school students to enroll – tuition-free – at Piedmont and complete college-level coursework for credit. This is a perfect opportunity for those students who excel in the classroom to learn from our highly qualified and attentive faculty and staff. We welcome these students – offering classes both in person and online and are proud to help prepare high school leaders to begin a more in-depth level of education.

A Cost-Effective Educational Opportunity

Georgia's Dual Enrollment program is state-funded and covers most costs for eligible high school students, including 100% of tuition for approved courses, all mandatory, non-course related fees, and required textbooks for approved courses. Students are responsible for any non-mandatory fees, such as residence hall fees. Students may also be responsible for any expenses if they take a course that is not published in the Dual Enrollment Course Directory or if they did not receive permission to take the course.
