1. Meet with your high school or home school counselor prior to class registration to discuss the dual enrollment courses you are approved to take. Next, communicate with your ATC dual enrollment advisor to be registered for dual enrollment at ATC.
a. Please note that dual enrollment students cannot register themselves for classes at ATC.

2. To view the ATC classes offered, visit athenstech.okta.com. Next, select “Banner,” select “Registration,” select, “Look up Class,” and select “View Sections.”
a. When looking for a class, please make sure the class has seats remaining and that it is not closed. Open classes are referenced as “SR” for still remaining and closed classes are referenced as “C” for closed.
b. If you are choosing a science course (ex: BIOL 1111), you must also choose the science lab course (ex: BIOL 1111L) that goes with it by matching the section numbers.
c. Review the start and end dates as some courses are minimester courses for the first and last part of the term. Please note that “F” is the first half of the term and “L” is the last half of the term.
d. Find the location of the class you wish to take. ATC has four college campus locations: Athens/Main, Elbert, Greene, and Walton as well as Online and High School sites where classes are offered. You must choose the specific location for your class, and you are not allowed to attend a class offered at a high school that you do not attend.

3. Email your ATC DE advisor to get registered for your DE courses. Please note that you are dually enrolled and it does not mean that you are registered at ATC if the college courses are listed on your high school schedule. Your college advisor must register you for DE at ATC.
a. Email your ATC DE advisor the following information:
i. Your official full name
ii. Your ATC college ID number
iii. The name of your high school and counselor
iv. The high school grade you are currently enrolled in
v. The subject of the course (ex: ENGL 1101)
vi. The five-digit CRN (course registration number) of the course (ex: 20123)
