How to Apply for Joint-Enrollment in Fayette County

Clayton State University - Fayette
1200 Commerce Drive
Peachtree City, GA 30269

• Step 1. Complete the SAT/ACT Exam
  • Students must have SAT or ACT test scores to be enrolled. It generally takes about 3 - 4 weeks to receive scores after taking the exam. However, students may take the exam at Clayton State and have the scores in 1 or 2 days. The on-campus SAT or ACT can only be used to satisfy admission to Clayton State University as a timely way to get into the Joint Enrollment Program. However, this can be a good practice test to prepare for taking a national SAT/ACT exam. Each test costs ≈$50.00.
  • If necessary/helpful, an on-campus SAT and/or ACT (test) can be scheduled and taken at the Clayton State University Testing Center (678.466.4495).
  • CSU On-Campus SAT - http://learningcenter.clayton.edu/Testing Center/SAT_ACT/SAT.htm
  • CSU On-Campus ACT - http://ctl.clayton.edu/Testing%20Center/SAT_ACT/ACT.htm
  • Note - Additionally, a free SAT/ACT testprep course is provided online, at – www.march2success.com
• Step 2. Apply to Clayton State University
  • Complete the CSU Application for Admission by downloading the form at the following link. Please use this paper application so that we can identify you as a Fayette County joint enrollment student (there is a fee if you choose to apply electronically): http://adminservices.clayton.edu/admissions/forms/CSUApp 2006.doc
  • Note – referencing the CSU Application for Admission (form), don’t forget to include SSN, annotate the Term entering (i.e., Spring 2008), and check (mark) the Freshman Scholar (i.e., JE) block on "entering status" (located at the top of the second page). Also, the Joint Enrollment student candidate will need to sign this form (not the parent/guardian). Finally, don’t forget to select a Major, although the annotation of a Major plays no practical role. If unsure of a major, select the Integrative Studies (B.S. or B.A.) major.
  • If the completed paper application is returned to the Fayette Office, then the application fee will be waived. Joint Enrollment student candidates can elect to complete the online CSU application form, if desirable, but the application fee must be paid (online) by the student—for the application to be processed. The online CSU application for admission fee is not reimbursable.
• Step 3. Submit Accel Application and Supporting Documents
  • The following items should be submitted to Clayton State at the above address.
  • The Accel Application
    • Download the Accel Application at: http://www.gsfc.org/main/publishing/pdf/2005/accel_app.pdf
    • Complete Part I of the Accel Application (first 3 pages, after the two instruction pages, i.e., 3-5. The student and a parent/ guardian must sign and date the 3rd page.
    • Note – when completing the form, the SSN is required. Also, pay attention to questions pertaining to (a) date of Georgia residency (i.e., need month, day, and year), (b) Selective Service registration, (c) citizenship, and (d) lack of felony drug convictions. Additionally (if applicable), proof of Selective Service Registration and citizenship (…in the event the student is an eligible non-citizen)—including a copy (front and back) of the Alien Registration card, will be required.
  • High School Transcripts
    • Obtain official H.S. transcripts (in a sealed envelope), hopefully w/SAT or ACT scores annotated. If the SAT and/or ACT scores are not annotated on the H.S. transcripts, then have the appropriate testing center forward the official test scores to Clayton State. Pay extra for a rush order, if needed.
  • Immunization Form
    • Have an authorized Healthcare provider (typically a Physician or Nurse) complete the university Immunization form: http://adminservices.clayton.edu/admissions/forms/CSU Immunization.pdf
    • Note – copies of immunization records from other sources won’t suffice. Also, the CSU Nurse Managed Clinic can complete this form and provide needed immunizations. The clinic has the capability to look at shot records, online.
    • Note – if unable to acquire all annotated documents (above, A thru C) in a timely manner, then make it a top priority to initially forward the CSU Application for Admission and the GSFC Part I of the Accel application (i.e., first 3 pages). Receipt of these two documents will get the ball rolling and establish a record of the student, within in the university Banner system.
• Step 4. Register for Classes
  • Once admitted to the university, contact Dr. Mannie Hall at manniehall@clayton.edu to schedule an appointment for registering for your classes. Those wishing to enroll in a math course will need to take a placement test at the main campus.
• For More Information
  • As a reminder, funding for the Joint Enrollment Program is provided by the Georgia Student Finance Commission’s (GSFC) Accel Program, which provides eligible H.S. juniors and seniors an Accel grant (scholarship) during any semester, except the summer semester.
  • It is beneficial for parents/guardians to review the Accel Program regulation at – http://www.gsfc.org/main/publishing/pdf/2006/2006_accel_regs.pdf
  • Also, the GA-College-411 Accel Program web page provides additional information about the program at: http://www.gacollege411.org/FinAid/ScholarshipsAndGrants/accel.asp
