Joint Enrollment

<p>What information, general but especially personal/anecdotal, does anyone have about joint enrolling at GT? Specifically, does HOPE do anything for joint enrollers? Is there a limit on the number of courses one can take? Are sufficient classes available to make it enjoyable/beneficial? I will have already completed calc bc, stat, chem, and both physics c.</p>

<li><p>I have no experience joint-enrolling at Tech.</p></li>
<li><p>I have experience joint-enrolling at another state school in Georgia. If you fill out the Accel form and fulfill the requirements, then HOPE will pay.</p></li>
<li><p>I believe Georgia Tech has an eight-hour semester cap.</p></li>
<li><p>Based on what I see at OSCAR, yes.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>I know kennesaw lets you do 2-3 courses joint enrollment or 4-5 full time. Does GT increase the credit cap if you attend full time there, and not at all at your high school? And yeah, I know, I should probably ask on the kennesaw board, but you seem to have looked into this. Any other gems of wisdom on joint enrolling you have would be muchly appreciated.</p>

<p>I believe that web page will answer most of your questions.</p>

<p>If you can, try to find out when the finals of your potential joint-enrolled classes are. Last year, I had to take three finals - two college and one AP - in two days. Wasn't very fun, but thanks to studying, I did well on all three.</p>

<p>Georgia Tech classrooms are bigger than the classrooms here, so definitely sit in the front. It makes the class feel so much smaller.</p>

<p>Don't be afraid to talk with your university classmates. There will likely be an initial awkwardness if they ask you what your major is / what year you are, but after that, the ice is broken.</p>

<p>Be confident in your abilities. Your peers are smart, no question, but you're there - so there's no doubt that you can perform at a high level.</p>
