Local HS Seniors Graduate with College Credits Thanks to OFTC’s Dual Enrollment 

While hundreds of high school seniors will walk across the stage to receive their high school diploma this spring, 116 will garner additional awards as a result of their participation in Oconee Fall Line Technical College’s (OFTC) Dual Enrollment program.  

Georgia’s 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. 

Under Dual Enrollment, students may take academic core courses that can transfer to Technical College System of Georgia colleges or University System of Georgia (USG) colleges and universities. Students may also take occupational and career courses that can help jump start a career.  

“We are so proud of these students and their accomplishments,” shared Dr. Saketha Adams, OFTC’s Vice President of Student Affairs. “They are not only graduating from high school, but they have dedicated themselves to a higher level of learning and are now even more prepared to embrace the next chapter of their lives.”  

OFTC’s dual enrollment program offers students several pathways to succeed sooner. Some students take occupational courses – like nurse aide, cosmetology, welding, diesel, or industrial systems – to get a jumpstart on their careers, while others take degree level courses – like English, Psychology, Pre-Calculus, or History – to earn college credits that will transfer to any of the USG colleges and universities. 

The following graduating high school seniors have earned a Technical Certificate of Credit (TCC) or a Diploma through OFTC’s dual enrollment program.
