Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the eligibility requirements for dual enrollment?
A:
Before dual enrolling, ACC requires that students
either take a placement test to assess math, reading and writing
skills or achieve an ACT composite score of 20.
Additional eligibility requirements for dual enrollment vary by
school district. Students should meet with their high school
guidance counselor or principal to discuss their school’s particular
requirements.
Q: Are dual enrollment credits transferable?
A:
As with all ACC courses, credits earned through dual enrollment can
typically be transferred to four-year colleges and universities.
However, each college and university has specific policies regarding
acceptance of transfer credits. Before dual enrolling, students
should discuss with their high school guidance counselor or
principal which college or university they plan to attend and the
specific transfer policies in order to verify that credits will
transfer.

Q: What classes can be taken as dual
enrollment?
A: Approved dual enrollment classes vary
by school district. Students should meet with their high
school guidance counselor or principal to discuss their school
district's policies on approved dual enrollment classes.
Q: What are the costs for dual enrollment?
A: A key dual enrollment benefit is that the student’s high school pays
the tuition and, depending on the district, additional costs such as
fees for registration, facilities, and technology. When students
transfer dual enrollment credits to Michigan colleges and
universities, they save the money they otherwise would have had to
pay to take those classes.
Costs to the student vary by school district. Students should meet
with their high school guidance counselor or principal to discuss
their specific school district’s policies.
