ACCEL

What is the Georgia ACCEL Program?

The ACCEL Program is a Non-Need Based Grant

Who is eligible for the ACCEL Program?

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.

Please Note: Board of Regents requires a minimum score of 530 (Verbal) 440 (Math) or 23 (English) 22 (Math) to participate in the ACCEL Program.

What type of courses are ACCEL Students allowed to take?

Courses pursued by students under this program must come from the approved course directory (below) which is supplied to high school counselors in the state. Courses are available only in the areas of the core graduation requirements for college preparatory students: English, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, Foreign Language.

What type of Financial Aid is available?

At public colleges the program pays for tuition, mandatory fees and provides participating students with a book allowance, in keeping with the benefits provided by the HOPE Program. At private colleges the program pays $125 per semester hour or $84 per quarter hour. Transportation and other expenses are the responsibility of the student, including tuition and other expenses for non-core courses, if any are taken.

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. Additional requirements or restrictions for participating in this program may be imposed by the high school.

Disabilities
- Students that request accommodations in class

Any student who has indentified any physical, emotional or learning disability that will require assistance from an instructor for a classroom or exam should submit a “Special Needs Request Form” to the Disability Service Provider in the Academic Advising Center located in the Student Center.

Upon receipt of this form, the Bainbridge College Disability Service Provider will meet with the student to discuss what documentation is needed in order for Bainbridge College to provide classroom accommodations.
