Unless otherwise stated by the college, all online classes will appear on their respective Learning Management Systems on the first day of the college semester. Students, please make sure you’re checking your MP email and your college email regularly.
Dual enrollment students do NOT need to fill out a FAFSA to participate. Their funding source is from GAFutures.
For all colleges: Can I take DE courses if I have an IEP or a 504?
Students with an IEP or 504 are not excluded for the DE experience; however, the responsibility of requesting and/or being approved for accommodations falls on the student/parent. Each college will have their own "Accessibility Services" and written procedures/requirements for students to request assistance. Please use the links below to learn more about this process and what you need to do if you are seeking accommodations.
If your college isn’t listed, please reach out to Ms. McLuen at reye.mcluen@mcschools.org
