Dual Enrollment for High School Students
Through this program, qualified high school students may pursue collegiate coursework either online or in person while completing their high school requirements.
Students accepted for dual enrollment can enroll part-time or full-time at any of our locations provided they meet course prerequisites and receive permission from their high school principal or counselor. Qualified students residing in Tennessee are eligible for the Tennessee Dual Enrollment Grant which fully funds their dual enrollment courses at South College. The South College Promise is a tuition assistance grant funded directly by South College and awarded to qualified high school students who wish to pursue dual enrollment courses at our Atlanta or Asheville campus. After the 10th dual enrollment course, students receiving assistance from all programs (TN DEG or SC Promise) are required to pay $500.00 per course out of pocket.
To be considered for dual enrollment, students must satisfy all of the following criteria:
- Provide written recommendation from the principal or counselor
- Have the written consent of a parent or guardian
- Meet general admission requirements of South College
- Achieve and maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5 high school work completed
Dual enrollment students are subject to the South College Satisfactory Progress Standards outlined in the institutional catalog.
Students may forfeit the privilege of participating in the program if they receive a grade below a C in their collegiate coursework.

Readmission of Former Students
Students who previously attended South College but who have withdrawn and not attended for two or more quarters must reapply for admission. Those who have not attended for one year or longer must also pay a $50 application fee.
If you enrolled at other colleges during your absence, you must have transcripts sent to South College. Applications for readmission should be submitted at least one month before the beginning of the quarter in which you plan to return.
Returning students must demonstrate that they already meet the current entrance test requirements for admission, or must retake the test and achieve the minimum entrance score. Students who withdraw from classes may have trouble scheduling the classes they need when reenrolling, because most South College courses are offered on a rotation basis.
The college reserves the right to deny readmission to any applicant who has an unacceptable academic or conduct record. Students with outstanding financial obligations must make arrangements with the Business Office before they will be allowed to matriculate.
Financial aid
Qualifying students at South College have access to a range of financial aid to provide the economic assistance they need to pay for college. Aid is available in the form of scholarships, grants and awards, work-study programs, and loans. We’re happy to participate in numerous federal, state, and private student aid programs, and to offer funding directly.

Success At South College
I chose the health science program because my ultimate goal is to become a Physician Assistant. This program prepares those who have the interest of continuing an education to the master’s level of health science and fulfills all educational pre-requisites for acceptance into a Physician Assistant program. I was able to make my educational pursuits a reality with the financial assistance of the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill. South College made the process of enrolling into classes very easy.
I chose South College for the progressive and innovative DPT program. The program is committed to emerging literature and evidence-based practice. The distance learning format allows me to learn at my own pace and interact with clinicians and students from all over the country.
I really enjoy that most classes are not straight reading from a book, listening to PowerPoint presentations, taking a test and then moving to the next chapter. The instructors take the time to have class discussions and incorporate real world examples. To me, this makes the material more interesting and puts what I am learning into a better perspective.
