How to Apply for Joint-Enrollment in Fayette County
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).

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%202006.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
adress.
A. 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
B. High School Transcrips
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.
C. Immunizatioin Form
Have an authorized Healthcare provider (typically a Physician or Nurse)
complete the university Immunization form:
http://adminservices.clayton.edu/admissions/forms/CSU%20Immunization.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 5.
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.
