Qualifying ACCUPLACER Scores
 Your ACCUPLACER scores must place you at the College
Ready level in order to take college courses.
 College Ready levels are: Reading (5), Writing (6), and Math
(5)
 If your reading/writing/math scores are not high enough for
you to take college level courses, that means you should
focus on building those skills at DHS before taking college
courses.
 If you choose to take Development classes at LCC (below
college ready scores), it is at the family’s expense
Step 2:
Apply to LCC
 Apply to LCC at anytime by going to www.lcc.edu and

students on their application
Information needed to apply: Basic demographics (name,
address, phone number)
Takes about 5 minutes
There will be a field trip to LCC on March 21 from 8:451:15. Interested students should notify Mrs. Akers & turn in
a permission slip.
Step 3:
Preparing to Register for classes
ACCUPLACER
 After applying to LCC, students will need to take Reading,
Writing, and Math placement tests
 Students need to receive College Ready scores on their
ACCUPLACER assessment in order to take courses. You will get
these results at the Testing Center when you complete testing.
 Students can only take the ACCUPLACER two times in a 365
day period.
 Students with an IEP can set up accommodated testing through
Student Disability Services
ACCUPLACER Waiver
 Students can submit a waiver for each of the subject test if
they have minimum ACT sub-scores.
 Math assessment waived with ACT score of 22
 Reading assessment waived with ACT score of 20
 Writing assessment waived with ACT score of 20
 Waiver cannot be used with ACT Explore or ACT Plan scores
 Students will need a copy of their ACT scores to be submitted
with the waiver. See Mrs. Akers if you need a copy of your
scores or to have your waiver faxed to LCC.
 State Law mandates which types of courses a student may
take-they need to be courses that will lead to a degree or
certificate
 Students must take courses that are at least 3.0 LCC credits
during a Block Hour & 1.0 credit during a Skinny Hour
 Students may not take courses that are offered at DHS:
 MATH 151  AP Calculus AB
 WRIT 121/122  AP English Language
 GEOG 200  AP Human Geography
 It is recommended that students choose courses that are part
of the MACRAO agreement (core courses that transfer to
other Michigan colleges/universities)
 The college or university that you graduate from will be the
one that determines if it will accept your dual enrolled
course towards graduation
 If students know which college or university they plan to
attend, they should consult
www.michigantransfernetwork.org to determine which
courses will transfer
Choosing an LCC course
 If you are unsure of what course to take, set up an
appointment with Mrs. Akers this spring to discuss course
options.
 If you are unable to register for a course, the two biggest
problems are:
1.
There is a hold on your account because your Dual
Enrollment Approval Form hasn’t been processed, or
2.
It is not the correct time for you to register.
Step 4:
Registering for Classes
 Students are required to register for their
own courses
 The LCC registration process can be a bit confusing. There is a
step-by-step process form available in the Counseling Office to
help you navigate the system.
 Mrs. Akers will be at DHS on the first Friday of scheduling in
June, at the beginning of registration, if any students would like
help registering. You can also have friends, siblings, and family
members who have taken LCC courses help.
Registration Process
1. Get a High School Approval Form from Mrs. Akers,
fill it out, have it signed by a parent, and return it to
the high school office
2. Mrs. Akers will fax in your Approval Form. It will
take 1-3 days for LCC to process your form. A hold
will be placed on your account until the form has been
processed.
3. Go online to www.lcc.edu to register through
StarPort.
 Summer Semester 2014
 Admission Deadline: May 2014
 Registration Deadline: June 2014
 Fall Semester 2014
 Begins August 2014
 Admission & Registration dates: June 2014
 Once students have successfully registered for their course(s), they
will complete a Billing Authorization Form and a DHS Dual
Enrollment Registration Form and submit it to the high school office
 Changes in original courses must be approved through the high school
office
 Register early – courses fill up quickly!
 Talk to Mrs. Akers before the end of the school year
 Have backup plans in case your first choice is unavailable
 Pay attention to your ACCUPLACER scores and course
prerequisites
 Make wise choices when registering; students who withdraw
from courses once the semester begins are responsible for
repaying the district the cost of the course(s).
Step 5:
What to do once you’ve registered
Post-Registration Steps

Fill out a Billing Authorization form and submit it to Mrs.
Akers within 5 days of registering for a course. Over summer
vacation, you will need to turn it in to the Superintendent’s
Office.
Clear any non-MACRAO courses through Mrs. Akers to make
sure that you have registered for appropriate courses.
Decide if you want to take the course for high school credit or
just college credit.
LCC will send you a bill. This is okay. Their system does not
differentiate Dual Enrolled from Regular students, they just
bill everyone.
Check to see if you need to purchase any books at Gibson’s
Bookstore.
 Dansville Schools will pay the cost of tuition and course fees
for students to Dual Enroll in approved courses
 Families are responsible for the cost of all books and class
equipment needed
 Families are responsible for transportation and transportation
costs
 It is recommended that students only dual enroll for one course

the first time that they dual enroll. School approval is needed
for students requesting to dual enroll in more than one course.
Students must be enrolled in 4 DHS credits each semester. This
can be a combination of DHS and LCC courses.
LCC Fall Semester runs August – December
LCC Spring Semester run January – May
Dual enrolled students are expected to leave the building during
their Dual Enrolled hour. The costs of your tuition replace
money that would be used to supervise you while at DHS.
Students may request a waiver to this rule from the HS office,
waivers will be granted as space allows.

school district by the post-secondary institution.
