To enroll in pre-college courses, you must be a high school junior or senior.  All students will be subject to the rules and regulations of the college. Provisional credit will be granted for work completed satisfactorily. Credit applicable toward a degree will be granted after high school graduation.

What are my choices for pre-college courses?

• The Early Admission Program is an opportunity for high school students to get a jumpstart on college course work while still in high school.  
   
• The Dual Enrollment Program allows high school students to earn both college and high school credit at the same time. Students must secure course recommendations from their high school counselor.
   
• Participating high schools offer Piedmont Technical College courses on site. For more information, contact Dr. Jennifer Willbanks at (864) 941-8397 or (864) 554-7846 or wilbanks.j@ptc.edu
