Dual Enrollment
Dual enrollment programs are a jumpstart to your future. As a high school student, you can take advantage of Wayne County Community College District courses and transfer them to a four-year college of your choice.
Is Dual Enrollment Right for Me?
Dual enrollment allows you to earn college credit for classes while still in high school. The more credits you have when you enter college, the faster you can obtain a degree and start your future.
Who Can Participate?
Dual enrollment is open to all students in grades 9-12 or those enrolled in a Wayne County Public School, including participating private and charter schools. Students enrolled in home school are also eligible to participate.
Parents: Give Your Child a Head Start on Success With Dual Enrollment Classes
Enroll your child in dual enrollment to:
- Sharpen academic skills: Dual enrollment students are better prepared because they’ve already experienced the rigor of college-level classes.
- Save Time: Earning college credit while still in high school may allow your son or daughter to complete one or two years of college.
- Save Money: High schools usually pay for dual enrollment courses and college textbooks, which means dual enrollment students do little to nothing. Tuition for Dual Enrollment courses is the same as all WCCCD courses and significantly less than that of a typical four-year college.
- Increase the chance for success in college: Once dual enrollment students begin college, their dual enrollment classes allow them to take fewer classes each semester and still graduate on time.
Submit the Parent Consent Form to determine child’s eligibility for the program.
FAQs
Dual enrollment courses allow you to receive a grade and credit for the work performed throughout the school year. These credits may transfer to your 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 you to pass the AP test to earn college credit. Credit is awarded solely on your performance on this one exam and may transfer to colleges as an elective or required credit based on your program of study and the college/university you plan to attend.
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.
