December 4, 2018
On Tuesday, Oct. 30, North Forsyth High School hosted a dual enrollment night for parents and students, in order to showcase the various opportunities local colleges provide for juniors and seniors seeking to get a kick start on their college education.
The two local colleges that North allows students to dual enroll at are the University of North Georgia and Lanier Technical College. Each college has their own requirements for admitting high school students.
Lanier Tech requires students to take at least one of several exams: the ACCUPLACER® exam, SAT, ACT or COMPASS exam. If a student does not meet the requirements for the ACT or SAT, then they are required to take the ACCUPLACER exam. Students who enroll at Lanier Tech have more access to technical field certification opportunities, such as welding and automotive repair, as well as more cosmetic certification opportunities such as hair design. The deadline for the Fall 2019 application is June 30.
