Move On When Ready (MOWR)



A College Program for
High School Juniors and Seniors

o House Bill 149 is an arrangement whereby an eligible student in 11th or 12th grade, who spent the prior school year in attendance at a Georgia public high school, may take all of his/her courses at or through a college, technical college, or university.

o Students will receive high school credit and college credit simultaneously while attending college classes on the college campus full-time. Approved college on-line courses can also be taken that meet high school graduation requirements.

o MOWR provides high school students the opportunity to “jump start” their postsecondary education during their high school years.

o High school students will be free to “move on” earlier to the next educational level.

o Students will have an educational alternative other than the traditional high school setting or school day structure.

o Students can save money on future college costs since most expenses are paid from the local school system funding.

What Else Do You Need To Know?
1) Students can live on campus or commute but are responsible for these expenses.
2) Students must be on track for graduation.
3) All high school End of Course Tests and Georgia High School Graduation testing requirements must be met.
4) Classes do not count against the HOPE Scholarship or Grant hours.
