 Common Dual Enrollment Terminology

Desire to Learn (D2L): ​The platform used by Georgia Highlands College for online classes and student
and academic information.
Associate’s Degree​: A two-year degree, usually 60-65 credit hours, from a community or junior
college
Course Numbers (CRNs)​: Numbers assigned to specific classes; used for registration
Credit Hour​: Credit given for attending one lecture hour of class each week for 15 weeks or
equivalent. Most college classes are 3 credit hours.
Degree (Academic) Plan:​ A specific list of required courses and electives to be completed for a
degree
Drop/Add: ​The procedure whereby a student may change his/her class schedule, after initial
registration, by dropping or adding a course without academic penalty. Typically, drop/add
occurs during the first three days of each semester.
Full time:​ Twelve or more credit hours per semester
General Education (“Core”)​: Introductory courses that provide students with general knowledge
and reasoning ability, rather than specific skills for employment or specialized knowledge for a
program of study.
Grade Point Average (GPA): ​The grade point average may be calculated by dividing the number
of hours earned in all courses attempted in which a grade of A,B,C,D,F or WF has been assigned
into the total number of quality points earned on those hours. *Grades or hours earned in
developmental-studies courses are not computed in the GPA.
Holds: ​Restriction placed on student’s record for a variety of reasons: academic, financial aid,
business office, library, etc.; To be removed, the obligation must be met.
Online Courses: ​ Courses taught over the Internet instead of in a traditional classroom
Prerequisite: ​A course(s) that must be taken before enrollment in another course
Program of Study (Major): ​ A student’s concentrated field of study
Registration: ​Procedure where student indicates the classes into which he/she wishes to enroll for
the next term of attendance.
SAP​: Satisfactory Academic Progress is the determination used at the collegiate level for financial
aid. To remain eligible for Federal Student Aid, students must maintain successful progress
towards the completion of their degree when receiving federal funds. To maintain SAP, students
must maintain a college GPA of 2.0 and complete 67% of all classes attempted.
Syllabus: ​Written description of course content distributed to students by instructors
Transcript: ​Permanent record of a student’s grades. Transcripts sometimes include the student’s
standardized test scores.
Tuition and fees: ​Costs for courses, including lab fees, student activity fees, parking fee, etc.; It
does not include cost of textbooks.
Withdrawal: ​Procedure by which a student may drop (no longer attend) a class at any time prior
to midterm.
 Attendance and Tardies
R​egular attendance, punctuality and active participation are required in all DE
courses. Students are expected to attend class on time, EVERY day. Students who
accumulate excessive absences and/or tardies will not be recommended to continue
in DE courses.

The attendance requirements in DE courses are in place to ensure the students are
receiving the full benefits of the course material being presented. The requirements
are set forth by the professor/college through which the DE course is taught.
School related events, such as athletics, competitions, or conferences need to be
discussed with individual course instructors prior to committing to these events or
activities.

Instructors have the option of deducting points from the final college grade due to
excessive absences and/or excessive tardies. This information will be outlined in
each course syllabus. The high school does not have the right to alter the
attendance requirements for DE courses.

Each instructor will provide a syllabus for each course in which the student is
enrolled. The syllabus will provide dates for assignments, assessments, etc.
Absences do not excuse students from work that may be due in the course. For
example, if a student is absent the day prior to an assessment, but is in attendance
the day the assessment or test is due, the student will be expected to participate in
that assessment. In addition, being absent on the day an assignment or assessment is
due does not excuse the work not being turned in. If a student is unable to turn in
any assignment on the due dates, he/she must contact the instructor to discuss
options. Instructors are not required to allow students to take a test or exam that is
missed. In addition, the grade for that test, exam or assignment missed can be
recorded as a “0”.

DE students are expected to provide their own transportation to DE classes taught

on the college campuses. Lack of transportation is not an acceptable excuse for not
attending classes.
 Behavior and Responsibilities
DE students are expected to work on a higher level than regular high school
students. There is a level of independence that is expected of these students.

Students will be expected to maintain contact with instructors and colleges via the
email provided by the colleges. Students MUST set up college email accounts and
check them on a regular (at least bi-weekly in online classes) basis.

Misbehavior is not expected to be an issue in DE classes. Disrespect to instructors

will not be tolerated. Any behavior issues in DE classes may result in removal from
the DE program. In addition, if a student in the DE program is assigned ISS/OSS,
all missed assignments are expected to be completed as assigned. Instructors may
view these days as days missed from class and they are subject to the attendance
procedures. Students assigned any long-term suspension will be reviewed as to
continuation in the program.

Students who are assigned to the Transitional Academy may not participate in on
campus Dual Enrollment classes. If a student is assigned to the TA while he/she is
taking DE courses, he/she may be required to withdraw and will receive the grade
he/she earns as outlined in the grading section of this handbook.

Dual enrollment students should be aware of an additional responsibility regarding

school activities. It is recommended that off-campus DE students have a student
contact at the base high school who will communicate school information about
important dates/times regarding the school schedule and special activities such as
clubs, athletics, tests, speakers, college representatives, graduation, etc. ​ It is
ultimately the student’s responsibility to check Google Classroom and social media
(Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) and to stay in touch with the school and not miss
important dates, events, and news.
 Required Items
DE courses are available to eligible students from fall of the 9th grade year through spring
of the 12th grade year. A student may enroll in multiple DE courses through multiple
post-secondary institutions. Students are expected to complete the requirements for each
institution by the deadlines set forth by the institution(s).

The following items are required for participation in DE

1. Admissions Tests (varies by college)
2. Application to the College(s)
3. Registration for DE Classes (notify counselor after)
4. FCS DE Handbook Agreement Signature Page
5. FCS DE Participation Agreement
6. Financial Aid Application through GA Futures (online)
7. FERPA Release Forms
8. College Orientation (required by some colleges)

In order to participate in DE, a student must apply and meet the admissions requirements
of the college(s) through which he/she would like to access DE courses. All colleges have
testing requirements, GPA requirements and application requirements and deadlines that
vary by school. It is the student’s responsibility to meet these requirements by the
deadlines.

Once a student has applied to the college(s)and been accepted, he/she must select classes
through class registration. If the DE courses are taught on the Floyd County High School
campuses, the student must inform the Counselor, Instructional Assistant Principal and/or
DE Coordinator if he/she wishes to enroll in DE courses. If the courses are taught on the
college campuses or online, the student must register by contacting the DE Specialist at
the college. The student must also work with the base high school counselor prior to
registering for DE courses accessed online or on the college campuses.

After registration, students and parents must meet with the counselor (this can take place
in a large group meeting) to discuss DE procedures. At this time, the student and family is
presented with the Floyd County DE Handbook. The counselor must have the signature
page of the DE Handbook, the DE Participation Agreement and the FERPA release forms
signed by parent and student in order for the student to proceed with DE courses.

Finally, the student must complete his/her financial aid application online, through GA
Futures. The Counselor, DE Specialists from the college or the DE Coordinator can assist
with these forms. Failure to complete this required paperwork could result in parents
being billed for the classes in which the students are enrolled.

There may be other paperwork that may be required during the year. Colleges establish
deadlines and expect that they will be followed. FCS will be available to assist in
meeting these deadlines, but it is ultimately the student’s responsibility to ensure these
deadlines are met.

Student Commitment
Participating in the DE program requires a commitment from the student. Research
indicates that to be successful in a typical college class, students should be prepared
to spend more time outside of class than is required of regular high school classes.
Students need to be aware of the commitment they are undertaking. ​Lack of
commitment to this program could have an adverse effect on both a student’s
college and high school GPA.

It is the student's responsibility to notify teachers of any issues. The instructors are
here to help prepare for the future, but they cannot help with issues of which they
are unaware.

It is the student's responsibility to make sure all work is completed as assigned. An

absence, including due to school activities and/or field trips, is not necessarily an
acceptable excuse for missed work. Students must communicate with their
instructors regarding any absences prior to work being missed. In the case of
illnesses or emergencies, students must inform their instructors as soon as possible.
Instructor contact information can be found on each course syllabus.

DE students who are seeking to earn an Associate’s Degree, Technical College

Diploma or Technical College Certificate while enrolled in DE courses are
reminded that they must meet with the college advisor to ensure higher education
requirements are met. The requirements of each college vary greatly, therefore, the
high school counselors are not experts and will not guide students on college
requirements. The role of the high school counselor is to ensure the student is
working towards fulfilling the appropriate requirements for high school graduation.

Students are enrolled in DE courses through the post-secondary institutions. If a

student moves mid-semester and is unable to complete the DE courses, he/she is at
risk of earning a failing grade on both his/her high school and college transcript.
Off-campus DE classes are a semester long commitment.​ It is very important that
the student complete the entire semester in order to earn the highest grade possible.
Due to the restraints of the high school schedule, ​DE courses accessed on the high
school campuses are a year-long commitment.​ A student will not be allowed to
withdraw from these classes unless he/she fails a class the prior semester. Not
earning an “A” is not an acceptable reason to withdraw from a DE course.
 Academic Progress and Grades

It is the student's responsibility to keep up with their grades for the DE classes. DE
course grades are not recorded in PowerSchool until the final grades are issued.

DE grades from the colleges will be interpreted on the high school transcript as
follows:
F =69 (64+5 points added)
D = 70 (65+5 points added)
C-, C, C+ = 80 (75+5 points added)
B-, B, B+ = 90 (85+5 points added)
A-, A, A+ = 105 (100+5 points added)

It is important to remember that the FCS credit repair, recovery and retest
procedures are not in effect for the DE courses. Each instructor will determine how
the college level grade will be calculated. Their grading policy will be outlined in
the course syllabus. Expect points to be deducted from any late or incomplete
assignments.

If a student’s work in a class is not contributing to success in the program, and FCS
staff is notified by the college, the FCS staff will work with the student and the
parent/guardian to determine if additional assistance is necessary. In cases where
the student’s grade is in jeopardy of not passing and affects high school graduation
and FCS staff is notified, FCS staff will meet with students and parent/guardians to
discuss if continuation in the programs is in that student’s best interest. ​Please note,
colleges do not always inform FCS staff of the student’s progress. Ultimately, as
with any college class, it is the student’s responsibility to seek additional help for
DE classes when needed. For classes taught on the college campuses, it is not
standard procedure for the parents and/or high school to be informed about student
progress. If a student is at risk of failing a DE course, he/she must notify the high
school counselor in writing immediately upon knowledge of his/her at risk grade(s).

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is the determination used at the collegiate

level for financial aid. To remain eligible for Federal Student Aid, students must
maintain successful progress towards the completion of their degree when receiving
federal funds. To maintain SAP, students must maintain a college GPA of 2.0 and
complete 67% of all classes attempted. Students who fail to meet these standards
will be placed on ​financial aid warning​ for one semester and if improvement is not
shown, students then are placed on ​suspension​. This could affect DE students as
they prepare for college after high school graduation.

Students who wish to withdraw from a DE course MUST notify the high school
counselor in writing before withdrawing. Withdrawals from DE classes can have a
great impact on both the college and the high school GPA.​ If a student requests to
withdraw from a DE class and the college drop/add has passed, a grade of “W” is
issued on the college transcript. This affects the Satisfactory Academic Progress. For
the high school grading purposes, a student that takes any DE class must receive a
grade for that class. All DE class grades will be recorded on the student’s high school
transcript. This includes any class from which the student withdraws from after the
institution’s formal withdrawal period.

Students who withdraw from a DE course and receive a grade of “W” from the
college will
1) have a grade of “Z” entered on the high school transcript IF the student enrolls
in an equivalent high school course and earns a passing grade before the end of
the semester.
2) have a grade of 69 entered on the high school transcript IF the student does not
enroll in an equivalent high school course and/or does not earn a passing grade
in the equivalent high school course before the end of the semester.

Students who receive a grade of “WF” from a DE course will have the grade of 69
entered on the high school transcript.

Grades earned in DE courses do count in the student’s high school HOPE GPA to
determine if a student is or is not eligible to receive the HOPE Scholarship upon
graduation from high school. According to Georgia Student Finance Commission,
grades earned in DE courses do not count in the student’s college HOPE GPA.
However, DE grades earned do count in the student’s overall college GPA. DE
courses do not count against a student’s maximum hours for HOPE eligibility.

DE hour credits shall be converted to high school credit hours as follows:

1 to 2 DE semester hours = .5 credit
3 to 5 DE semester hours = 1 credit
1 to 3 quarter hours = .5 credit
4 to 8 DE quarter hours = 1 credit
 Use of Technology
College Technology Accounts

Students will be assigned a student ID number and email from the college(s).
Students who are enrolled in multiple colleges may have multiple IDs and emails.
Students must be responsible and keep up with this information. This information
is not shared with the high schools.

College email accounts/online accounts are how students access online courses,
grades, unofficial college transcripts, participate in discussion boards, email
instructors, etc. It is very important that DE students check their online college
accounts on a regular basis.

A technology issue is not an acceptable excuse for late or incomplete work.

Technology in class

The instructor will inform the student of the need for use of technology devices in
the classroom. If the instructor requires technology, please ensure a device is
available and charged.

DE courses are truly college courses. To ensure students are receiving the most out
of class, they should refrain from texting, being on social media or playing games
during class. If this becomes a problem, FCS staff will conference with the student
and will determine appropriateness of he/she continuing in the DE program.
 Academic Dishonesty
Academic dishonesty is a serious issue at the collegiate level. Each
college/instructor has guidelines regarding academic dishonesty. These are set forth
by the college and/or instructor and can not be altered by the high school. DE
students must be aware of the consequences of academic dishonesty at each college.
Please note that since students are also receiving a grade from the high school, they
are also subject to the consequences from FCS for any occurrence of academic
dishonesty. Students must be aware of everything that is considered academic
dishonesty or misconduct. It is the student’s responsibility to read the handbook(s)
of the college(s) through which he/she is participating in DE. A few examples are
listed below.

The following is taken from the GNTC Student Handbook regarding academic
misconduct:

Any student found to have committed any of the following types of misconduct is subject to the
disciplinary sanctions outlined in the Student Disciplinary Policy and Procedure.
A. ACADEMIC

The following is taken from the GHC Student Handbook regarding academic
misconduct:

The following actions or behaviors are prohibited: A. Academic Regulations

1. PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism is submitting words, ideas, opinions or theories of another, except those that are
common knowledge, without proper credit to that person. Unfair credit includes, but is not limited
to, a direct quotation of all or part of another’s words without the proper identifying marks
and/or merely stating the general source in a bibliography without noting the specific source in a
body of work. Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, the following when performed without
fair credit:
• Direct quoting of all or part of another person’s written or spoken words without quotation
marks or similar appropriate punctuation
• Paraphrasing all or parts of another person’s written or spoken words without proper
documentation within the submitted work
• Stating an idea, theory or formula originated by another person as one’s own
• Repeating information, such as statistics, which is not common knowledge and was originally
compiled by another person
• Purchasing or receiving any academic works from another person or another source and
submitting the work as one’s own for evaluation or grade.
• Reusing assignments from another person.
• Copying, using “cut and paste”, or otherwise using materials found on the Internet with-
out proper website citation.
2. UNAUTHORIZED ASSISTANCE
No student shall:
• Give or receive assistance not authorized by the instructor in the preparation or completion of
any essay, laboratory work, test, exam or other assignment as part of an academic course of study
• Sell, give, lend or otherwise procure or secure any unauthorized material that can be shown to
contain questions or answers to any examination or test scheduled to be given at any subsequent
date excluding questions and answers from any previous test that was given back to a student for
keeping
• Copy or allow another person to copy answers to a test, exam, assignment or other exercise
• Transmit or receive information during a test that is within the scope of the material to be
covered by that test
• Use any handheld electronic device (cell phone, PDA, iPhone, digital camera, etc.) to search
for, receive, record, send or text information regarding an in-class assignment, test or quiz.
• Complete for another, or allow another to complete, all or part of an assignment, such as lab
work, homework, computer assignment or exercise
• Submit a group assignment or allow a group assignment to be submitted as the work of
everyone in the group when fewer than all in the group assisted substantially in its preparation
• Use without authorization a programmable calculator or other electronic device, including but
not limited to, cell phones, personal data organizers, pagers or laptop computers
• Allow another person to log into a Web-based course (such as on VISTA) to submit work not
created by the enrolled student.
3. FALSIFICATION
Giving false information in connection with the performance of any work or the procedures
outlined in this code. No student shall:
• Give false reasons for failure to complete academic work
• Falsify the results of any lab or experimental work or fabricate data or information
• Alter academic work after it has been submitted without permission of the instructor.
Alter grade, lab, or attendance and participation records
• Damage computer, computer-related equipment (printers, disks, etc.), or lab equipment
in order to alter or prevent the evaluation of academic work (Note: damage to college or
another student’s property may also be adjudicated under the Student Code of Conduct)
• Give false or misleading information in connection with a hearing or investigation involving
possible academic dishonesty
• Submit academic credit work that has been previously submitted for credit unless given
permission by the instructor receiving the work
• Alter, take, procure or attempt to alter, in an unauthorized manner any materials pertaining to
the conduct of the class including, but not limited to, tests, examinations,
equipment or roll books
• Steal or procure information related to any academic work in an unauthorized manner
• Log-in or attempt to access another students’ Web-based course account (such as on VISTA or
eCore)

Each college has procedures in place to deal with academic dishonesty. Please refer
to the specific college handbook through which any DE courses are taken for
guidance. It is important to remember that DE courses are taught through the
colleges and by college professors so the consequences dealing with academic
dishonesty must be adhered to by all students. If a student fails or is required to
withdraw from a DE course due to academic dishonesty, both the student’s high
school and college GPA and progress towards meeting graduation requirements will
be adversely affected.
 Online Classes

In DE courses, students may have some type of online experience. Students may
register for online DE classes, which are entirely online and communication with
the instructor is done via email and course software. Students may also have
web-enhanced courses, in which all meetings are on campus, but many components
of the courses such as the syllabus, assignments, and test, will be online.

Online and web-enhanced courses are great preparation for college and the world of
work. Many colleges offer programs that are entirely online and more and more
employers are utilizing online training programs for new employees. Being able to
use online platforms will give students a huge advantage over others who have not
learned how to use these online components.

Online learning does require self-motivation and commitment to the programs.

Students need to make it a regular practice to check emails, course announcements,
and their grades on a consistent basis. Students enrolled in an online class need to
set aside specific times each week to work on their classwork.

Students will be given the required information to access online work. It is very
important that students keep up with this information and that do not share it with
other students.
 Books and Course Materials

Students are provided with books and course materials at no cost under the DE
program. However, these books and materials are loaned from the colleges and
students are responsible for returning all books that are not considered consumable
at the end of the course. If books are not returned, students will be billed by the
college. Students who have an outstanding bill, are not allowed to register for
classes, request transcripts be sent or access student records.

For DE classes taught on the high school campuses, the instructor teaching the class
will assign books. If students are taking online DE classes or DE classes on the
college campuses, they must go to the college to pick up books from the campus
bookstores. Those books will also need to be returned to the college campus.

Online course and lab courses often have additional fees associated with them.
Students who enroll in these classes will be responsible for paying the associated
fees that are not covered through the DE program. Floyd County Schools will not
reimburse students for any associated fees.
 Course Transfer Information
It is important that students check with the college they plan to attend upon high school
graduation to determine which DE courses will transfer to a specific college and how the
courses will transfer. Depending on the college, some DE courses may only transfer as
elective credits. It is impossible for the DE Coordinator and/or counselors to know how
every course will transfer to every college. It is the students’ and parents’ responsibility to
check the transfer equivalency chart for the college he/she plans to attend. Most colleges
have their transfer equivalency chart posted online and it can be found by doing a Google
search, for example “Kennesaw State University Transfer Equivalency.”

Below is a list of DE courses that transfer between any college in the Technical College
System of Georgia and the University System of Georgia. It is up to each institution to
determine if these courses transfer in as core or elective credits.
