Joint Enrollment
Joint Enrollment gives academically talented high school students the
opportunity to earn college credit before graduating from high school. In
some cases the high school student may be able to be dually
enrolled--earning high school and college credit at the same time. The cost
of tuition and fees may be covered by Accel, a program funded by the State
revenues, or MOWR (Move On When Ready), a program funded through
the high school’s Full Time Equivalency (FTE) funding.
Who is eligible? What are the requirements?
- Rising Juniors and Seniors
- Minimum high school academic GPA of 3.0

What is the Accel Program?
The Accel Program provides financial assistance to high school students who take
advantage of the opportunity to earn college credit as they simultaneously meet
their high school graduation requirements. Accel pays for all tuition, some
fees, and some books for the Fall and Spring Semesters. Accel does not pay for
Summer Semester classes. Accel is not available for home school students or
non-accredited high school students.
What is the MOWR (Move On When Ready) Program?
MOWR is a program that provides financial assistance through the high school’s
Full Time Equivalency (FTE) funding for eligible full-time (12 or more semester
hours) dual enrolled students. The cost of tuition and fees are provided for the
Fall and Spring Semesters, but the student is responsible for all books. MOWR
does not provided funding for Summer Semester classes. MOWR is not available for
