Southeastern Technical College offers several different courses and options for current and graduating high school students. Find out which “College Credit Now” option is right for you below.
The Dual Enrollment (DE) programs allow high school students to take academic degree level core courses that will transfer to any TCSG or USG college or university, occupational courses, and diploma level core courses. Some students may choose to enroll fully into a degree, diploma, or technical certificate of credit program, or they may choose to just take a few courses. All college coursework taken through DE will be fully covered through DE funding, and students will not be required to pay out of pocket for tuition, college fees, or textbooks for the first 30 semester hours. The only fees students may be responsible for are course-specific fees determined by the college. Participating in the DE program is a great incentive for high school students to get ahead on their college coursework!
Southeastern Technical College offers a schedule of college degree-level courses designed for Dual Enrollment eligible students to be able to get a head start on their college careers while in high school. Instead of taking your first college English course in a class of 300, take it in a smaller setting with a class no larger than 25 students—and with an instructor that knows your name!

Popular DE programs include Air Conditioning, CompTIA A+ Certified Preparation (completed online), Early Childhood, Nurse Aide, and Welding & Joining Technology.

High school students enrolled in a high school not participating in the Dual Enrollment Program or taking courses not approved for Dual Enrollment funding, may enroll in postsecondary courses while continuing to pursue a high school diploma. Under the Joint Enrollment Program, the postsecondary coursework credit is not accepted as credit towards the student’s high school graduation requirements. Joint Enrolled students may qualify for the HOPE Grant Program or may choose to self-pay for tuition, fees, and books.
