Get a jumpstart on college at no cost by enrolling in Brenau University’s Dual Enrollment program. If you’re an eligible high school or homeschooled student at the high school level, you can earn postsecondary credit hours and simultaneously meet your high school graduation or  home study diploma completion requirements.

If you are a junior or senior in high school, you may, with the approval of your counselor, enroll in a combined number of high school and college courses per semester in Brenau’s Dual Enrollment program. See eligibility requirements below. 

Dual Enrollment eligibility requirements:

  1. Fill out the Brenau University Dual Enrollment Application Form and have your high school counselor submit an official transcript to documents@brenau.edu
  2. Complete the Dual Enrollment Student Participation Agreement and submit it to your high school or homeschool study program for each school term (semester or quarter).
    • High school and homeschooled students must complete the Dual Enrollment Student Participation Agreement at gafutures.org/checs/DualEnrollment/Parent.
    • For homeschooled students, the parent and counselor portions are completed by their parents.
    • You must submit this form once every year. The form is valid for summer semester, fall semester and spring semester after submitted.
  3. There is no application fee for Dual Enrollment applicants.
  4. Students must be at least 16 years old.
  5. Students must have a minimum class rank of junior.

Things to know:

  • Effective fall 2024: Academic Standing Policy, High School Dual Enrollment: Dual Enrollment (DE) students are expected to maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or higher at all times. Should a DE student’s cumulative GPA fall below 2.0 at the conclusion of a semester, the student will be placed on Academic Dismissal. The student will be given the opportunity to appeal the dismissal by completing the Academic Appeal Form housed on the University’s registrar website. If approved, the student must attain a cumulative 2.0 GPA at the conclusion of their next enrolled semester. If their cumulative GPA is still below 2.0, the student will be dismissed without the ability to return as a DE student. If dismissed as a dual enrollment student, the student can still be considered for admission as a degree-seeking student following high school graduation with an approved academic appeal.
  • Please note: You may be required to take a placement test if you wish to take a math or English course at Brenau.
