For Students & Parents
The Dual Achievement Program is another path toward high school graduation. Students will complete high school (if needed) and college coursework in the DAP program and upon completion of that coursework, will earn a high school diploma. The high school diploma earned through the Dual Achievement Program is a fully accredited high school diploma.
In order to be admitted to the Dual Achievement Program, students must be age 16-21, withdraw from their high school or home school program and provide proof of withdrawal, submit an official copy of their high school transcript and must have completed and earned credit for 6 of the 9 required high school courses (2-English, 2-Math, 2-Science, 2-Social Studies, 1-Health/PE).
For Counselors
Students interested in participating in the Dual Achievement Program will formally withdraw from their base high school and transfer to a TCSG Academy. Students will not be counted as dropouts. Counselors and registrars will use code 7: transfer to TCSG Dual Achievement when withdrawing students from their high school. Once a student enrolls in the Dual Achievement Program, counselors at the TCSG Academies are responsible for their high school graduation requirements; the TCSG Academy will award their high school diploma.
Funding Information
College courses are assessed for tuition, fees, and textbooks; however, students may utilize Dual Enrollment funding to assist with the amount owed. Often students taking college courses and utilizing Dual Enrollment funding pay nothing. If Dual Achievement Program students do have a balance after Dual Enrollment funding is applied to their account, specific Academies may have additional funding available to assist students with the rest of their balance. If a student runs out of Dual Enrollment funding, the student may be able to use HOPE Grant and HOPE Career Grant.
To apply for Dual Enrollment funding, please complete the dual enrollment funding application at gafutures.org.
