Joint Enrollment applicants have completed at least the 10^th grade and seek to challenge themselves by utilizing college courses to fulfill high school graduation requirements. Early Admission applicants seek to abandon a high school diploma and enroll as a full time student following completion of the junior year in high school.

Joint Enrollment and Early Admission applicants must have a 3.0 academic grade point average calculated only on college preparatory curriculum courses, and must be on track to complete a College Preparatory diploma. It is recommended that these students, have SAT scores of at least 530 Critical Reading and 530 Math (or 23 English ACT and 22 Math ACT), however other scores may be considered in accordance with University System of Georgia minimum requirements and based on the applicant’s desired course selection. Joint enrollment students, who wish to continue their education at GCSU after they graduate from high school, must apply and be evaluated as freshmen applicants.

Joint enrollment students must submit the following documents for admission consideration at GCSU:

·         Application for admission

·         Application fee

·         Official SAT or ACT score report

·         Official high school transcript

·         Written approval from the high school principal or designated official

·         Written approval from the legal parent or guardian, if applicant is under age 18

For local area students who will be simultaneously enrolled in high school AND college, there are no set application deadlines since we strive to accommodate these students as best we can.  However, early application is encouraged.

For students from out-of-area who are seeking a full-time, residential Joint Enrollment experience, the regular freshman timeline will apply.
