More Georgia high school students are going to college, taking advantage of a new program that lets them enroll in tuition-free college courses earning high school and college credit simultaneously. Charles Bell, dual enrollment coordinator at the University of North Georgia, said the school is seeing an “uptick” in dual enrollment students because of Senate Bill 2, which passed in 2015 and is part of Georgia’s Move On When Ready program. Bell said the program allows students who have completed their sophomore year in high school to leave the high school setting and come to college full time and earn credits toward college and high school requirements.
