How Do Students Maintain Eligibility?
• Students must be enrolled full-time (12+ hours)
in an eligible institution as long as they are
attending the school.
• Students who drop below full-time status for
any reason during the term forfeit their eligibility
to continue in Move on When Ready and must
return to the home high school. This may result
in loss of credit and may cause a student to
become off track for graduation.
What Are Coursework Options For MOWR?
• Courses can be taken during the traditional
school day hours or beyond.
• MOWR courses must be selected from a list
provided by the state. It includes academic and
technical courses only. No arts classes or other
non-academic electives are available at this
time.
What Are The Testing Requirements For
MOWR?
• Students must meet all state assessment
requirements.
• End of Course Tests.
• Georgia High School Graduation Tests.
• Because students must meet the dual
enrollment criteria set by the school they wish
to attend, students may need to register for SAT
or ACT ASAP.
How is credit awarded?
• Students will earn high school credit for
courses successfully completed at an eligible
postsecondary institution.
How is credit awarded?
Secondary credit for postsecondary courses will be
awarded according to the following conversion
beginning in the 2010-2011 school year:
One to two semester hour credits = .5 high school unit
credit
Three to five semester hour credit = 1 high school unit
credit
One to three quarter hour credits = .5 high school unit
credit
Four to eight quarter hour credit = 1 high school unit credit

Other FAQ’s
3. What is the difference between MOWR and ACCEL?
MOWR students must be full time at all times, while Accel students
do not. Accel only deals with core academic courses while MOWR
includes core and Career Technical Agriculture Education courses
on the Dual Enrollment Matrix. Funding is also different. Accel hours
count against the HOPE hours cap but MOWR does not.
4. How does MOWR affect HOPE eligibility?
Students who participate in MOWR receive credit on their high
school transcripts. Those courses will factor in to students’ HOPE
GPAs to determine HOPE eligibility.

5. Can MOWR students still participate in sports and
extracurricular activities at their high schools?
Yes.
