Georgia’s Move on When Ready (MOWR) program provides students the opportunity to earn college credit while completing their high school graduation requirements.  With tuition, many fees, and textbooks covered by the program, and with many other benefits to enrolling in college while in high school, MOWR participation is growing.  Join us to learn more about the MOWR program and how your students can participate at the TCSG and USG colleges and universities across the state.

This session will provide participants with an overview of the MOWR program.  The following topics will be included:

• Student MOWR funding eligibility requirements;
• Program funding and possible student expenses;
• TCSG and USG MOWR admission requirements and procedures;
• Eligible college courses, tips for selecting courses, and the process for new courses to be approved;
• Benefits of enrolling in college prior to high school graduation; and,
• Review of MOWR online resources

During this session, there will be many opportunities for discussion and for participants to ask questions of the presenters.  No handouts are planned but participants will leave the session with an awareness of the online resources that are available.

 At the conclusion of the session, participants will:

• Have an awareness of the history of the MOWR program;
• Possess an understanding of the MOWR funding eligibility requirements, what the funding covers, and the possible student expenses;
