ACCEL

The Accel Program is for students classified as high school juniors and seniors at accredited public or private high schools in the state of Georgia, and is operated in all school terms except summer.  The program allows students to pursue postsecondary study at approved public and private colleges and technical colleges while receiving dual high school and college credit for courses successfully completed. Credit hours paid by the Accel Program for the student will count towards the limit of postsecondary hours paid for by the HOPE (Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally) Program.  Grades for any college level classes taken prior to high school graduation do not count toward the student's college HOPE gpa.

There are two steps to apply:

1. Apply for admission to Gainesville State College through the Gainesville State College Admissions Office.

2. Apply for Accel online through the Georgia Student Finance Commission.
