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 familys expense

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 www.michigantransfernetwork.org
Slide 14
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 hasnt been processed, or 2. It
is not the correct time for you to register.
Slide 15
Step 4: Registering for Classes
Slide 16
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.
Slide 17
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.www.lcc.edu

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
Slide 20
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).
Slide 21
Step 5: What to do once youve registered
Slide 22
Post-Registration Steps 1. 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
Superintendents Office. 2. Clear any non-MACRAO courses through
Mrs. Akers to make sure that you have registered for appropriate
courses. 3. Decide if you want to take the course for high school
credit or just college credit. 4. LCC will send you a bill. This is
okay. Their system does not differentiate Dual Enrolled from
Regular students, they just bill everyone. 5. Check to see if you
need to purchase any books at Gibsons Bookstore.
Slide 23
Dansville Schools will pay the cost of tuition and course fees
for students to Dual Enroll in approved courses Families are

Slide 24
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.
Slide 25
Changes to Dual Enrollment Law Students who are eligible to
dual enroll may do so in grades 9 -12. Students are eligible for a
maximum of ten (10) courses overall to be paid for by the school
district. Students who dual enroll in their first course in 9th
grade are eligible to take no more than two classes per year in
their first, second, and third academic years of dual enrollment,
and no more than four classes during their fourth academic year.
Students who dual enroll in their first course in 10th grade are
eligible to take no more than two classes during their first
academic year of dual enrollment, and no more than four classes per
year during their second and third academic years. Students who
dual enroll in their first course in 11th grade are eligible for
not more than six courses during grades 11 and 12. Any additional
courses may be taken at the familys expense. If a student does not
earn credit in any course paid for by the school district (either
through withdrawing from the course or not earning a passing
grade), the family is responsible for any charges not returned to
the school district by the post-secondary institution.
