New Students

Recently admitted students beginning the dual enrollment program will receive an email with information regarding advisement and next steps.

Students awaiting admission are encouraged to visit the Admissions Status Check page for more information.

Orientation

Dual enrollment students do not attend a SOAR session. Dual Enrollment students are required to complete the New Student Pre-Flight modules (located in the New Student Services tab of their MyGS portal) prior to their first semester of Dual Enrollment classes. This can be completed at your own pace once you have been admitted. Information will be provided by Dual Enrollment academic advisors in the Office of Advising.

Visit Admission’s Orientation website for more information.

Advisement

All students in the dual enrollment program must meet for advisement each semester. One purpose of advisement is to ensure that students are enrolling in classes approved by their high school counselor to meet graduation requirements. A key part of advisement also includes the opportunity to discuss majors and plans for the future.

After you have been accepted by Admissions you will receive an email sent to the email address that you used when you applied to Georgia Southern with information on how to sign up for advisement.

Make sure you have done the following before signing up for your New Student Dual Enrollment Advisement Appointment:

1. Met with your high school counselor to discuss your dual enrollment course plan. Your high school counselor must submit your approved courses before you sign up for your new student advisement appointment with your Dual Enrollment Academic Advisor.
2. Completed the student and parent/guardian portions of the GAFutures scholarship application. This must be completed prior to scheduling your appointment with your Georgia Southern Academic Advisor.
