FAQs
- Dual Enrollment courses allow students to receive a grade and credit for the work performed throughout the school year. These credits may transfer to the student’s college of choice as direct course equivalents (verify with your university and/or community college major of study). Review the MACRO A agreement to see how community college courses transfer to other Michigan universities. If you are planning to attend an out-of-state university, check with that institution to see how credits will transfer.
- Advanced Placement classes prepare students to pass the AP test to earn college credit. Credit is awarded solely on the student’s performance on this one exam and may transfer to colleges as an elective or required credit based on the student’s program of study and the college/university the student plans on attending.
Your high school will distribute a Dual Enrollment packet containing all of the information needed for dual enrollment, including applying for admissions, testing requirements and class registration. Once completed, the registration form must be signed and submitted through the high school contact.
You may be dropped from your class with a debt still owed to the college and you will receive a grade of “WI” on your permanent college transcripts if you do not drop before the 100% refund date.
It is your responsibility, not your instructor’s, to officially withdraw from your classes. You will need to contact your college dual enrollment office and complete a drop/add slip. If you withdraw after the 100% refund date, you will still be responsible for paying your tuition. NOTE: Notifying your instructor that you no longer want to take the course for dual credit is not officially withdrawing from the course.
