GCEC Admission Policy

The GCEC Program gives preference to applicants who are underrepresented in higher education to include low-­‐income and first-­‐generation college completers. The goal of Georgia College Early College’s admission process is to identify the most qualified applicants for participation in this intensive program. To achieve this, GCEC will use a holistic approach to enroll students with overall profiles indicating a level of readiness and motivation necessary for success in an accelerated curriculum that includes college coursework. Applicants are not automatically admitted or denied without an individualized evaluation of his or her application including review of the following:

Application:

Applicants must complete and submit an application signed off by the principal or designee. Early admission applicant must complete and submit their applications no later than the last Friday in January prior to the anticipated school year of enrollment. In an effort to determine the needs of all students, a uniform reading screening of the applicant will be completed at the time of the interview. Students may be considered for later admission, as space is available. No applicants will be accepted after the 6-week grading period of each semester.

Interview:

Applicants will join their parent/guardian in an interview to determine the applicant’s desire to attend GCEC, unique talents and interest, motivation, and dedication to academic success.
