Taking a UNG Class Next Semester Through Move On When Ready?

This is a great opportunity that students have to earn college credits while still in high school at no charge to the family.  If you are planning on taking a course (or courses) this coming spring, you will be required to take at least one of your courses on an Oconee County high school campus (NOHS or OCHS).  The courses that are offered at each are as follows:

MATH 1113 Mon/Wed 8:15-9:30 at NOHS (recommended for students who have completed either MATH 1111 or Accelerated Precalculus)
PSYCH 1101 Mon/Wed 2:00-3:15 at NOHS

ENG 1102 Tues/Thurs 8:15-9:30 at OCHS Must have passed ENG 1101 or made a 3 or 4 on the AP Language Arts test)
COMM 1110 Tues/Thur 2:00-3:15 at OCHS (This is a public speaking course- a truly valuable skill in the future workplace)

These courses will offer families a convenience that will save gas, time and keep students off the road as much.  These courses are part of the partnership between Oconee County School System and University of North Georgia Oconee Campus.  If you are currently a junior or senior and are interested in applying for this opportunity, please complete the attached application and take it to UNG Oconee's Office of Admission.  The new deadline for all documents to be submitted has been moved to December 1st.  In addition to this application, you must include:
