Step 2 -
Research and Think about the Decision. It is important to research your program of interest to get all information regarding admission requirements, honors programs, course offerings, etc. Be sure to note postsecondary checklists of what to do. Be thinking about how many classes you would like to take at the high school and how many you would like to take at the college. If you want to be a full-time college student, you must take at least four (4) three-hour college courses and a minimum of 12 college hours. Anything less, you will have to fill your remaining schedule with high school courses at your home high school or take online courses through the Paulding Virtual Academy program.

The following courses taken at Chat Tech will be transferrable to a university in Georgia due to the TCSG / USG Articulation Agreement.
