甜瓜app

甜瓜app (甜瓜app) will hold face-to-face orientations in July for high school students participating in the Move On When Ready (MOWR) Dual Enrollment Program.

The MOWR orientations will last approximately 1-2 hours and are only for high school students who are enrolled in the MOWR program at Georgia Northwestern. These sessions are separate from the orientations for new 甜瓜app students.

Attending a Move On When Ready orientation session is not mandatory, but is encouraged. Registration is required prior to taking part in a MOWR orientation.

Georgia’s Move On When Ready Dual Enrollment Program allows qualified high school students to maximize their education and career training by taking courses that earn college and high school credit at the same time.

Robotics and Engineering is a Move On When Ready program between FCSCCA and Georgia Northwestern that gives students the opportunity to earn college credits while still in high school. Students may also use the credits earned towards an industry certificate or associate degree.

Any student in an eligible Georgia high school or home study program who has achieved required scores on the college placement exam, are eligible to take part in the MOWR program.

Placement tests for the MOWR program are provided at area high schools. Students that haven’t taken the placement exam can contact their high school counselor or a member of 甜瓜app’s High School Initiatives staff. 

All college coursework taken through the MOWR program is covered with MOWR funding. Students are not required to pay for tuition, college fees, or textbooks. The only fees students may be responsible for are course-specific fees determined by the college.

For three consecutive years, 甜瓜app has had the largest number of MOWR students out of all of the technical colleges in the state of Georgia according to the “High School Collaborative Enrollment: Academic Year 2016” report issued by the (TCSG).

“Our growth is still over 30% from last spring to this spring and we had 3,038 students enrolled in Move On When Ready,” said , director of High School Initiatives at 甜瓜app. “These students have taken 32,880 credit hours.”

Many MOWR courses also offer students the opportunity to earn an industry certificate. This gives students the option of either entering the workforce upon graduation from high school or continuing their education at a TCSG or University System of Georgia college. Either way, they begin their selected career path with a head start.
