
Recent legislation has amended the
Postsecondary Enrollment Options Act and
the Career and Technical Preparation Act to
expand dual enrollment options for high
school students in the state of Michigan.

These Acts allow high school students the
opportunity to earn college credit in both
academic and CTE programs.

Payments for courses are made from the
school district’s state aid foundation grant.

UCS contribution is 1/12 of the foundation
grant to cover costs towards tuition and
books.

What is 1/12?
 Foundation Grant = $7,209 annually
 $7,209 = $3,605 per semester
 $3,605 / 6 hour day = $601 per course
 The district will be responsible for up to $601.00
per course for tuition and fees.
 Courses must be successfully completed or the
student is to pay for the course.

See your counselor!
 Your counselor has the Dual Enrollment
applications in their office. Visit the course
offerings at the school you wish to attend and
your counselor will guide you through the process.

Student must be eligible (see chart) to
participate in Dual Enrollment.


assessment they have taken.

Things to consider when choosing postsecondary institution
 Out of pocket expenses, location, course offerings

Are you taking the course for Graduation?
 Take the DE course for High School credit. Be sure to
get your transcript to your high school!

Are you taking courses to earn college credit?
 Be sure it will transfer to the school you intend to go
to!

Are you hoping to achieve both?
 MOST universities will not grant you credit for both.
Although you can try, you can’t ‘undo’. Check with
your college and weigh your options.


What if I am eligible for DE with my EXPLORE
scores but not my PSAT scores?
 The scores from the LAST test taken determines your
eligibility.

Can the college require additional
qualifications to ensure college readiness?
 YES. Colleges may use additional assessments to
ensure success in a course.

Are there any limitations regarding the courses
students may take?
 YES. Courses that are a hobby, craft, recreational or a course
that is in the areas of Physical Education, theology, divinity,
or religious education, are not eligible for tuition support.

If a student fails to complete the district/school paid
postsecondary course, is he or she responsible for the
fees/tuition?
 YES. MCL 388.514(9) and MCL 388.1904(9) states that the
student shall repay the school district for courses that were
not completed. The school district may impost sanctions
against the eligible student as determined by school district
policy
