English and Reading portion of the ACT.
– MCCC requires a minimum score of a 20 on the

8. Which courses can a student take?

are appropriate for their readiness level.
• Students should consider what type of degree
they will pursue after high school and select

10. How does a student sign up?
• The window for the fall semester enrollment at
MCCC typically opens in April. The winter
semester typically opens in November.
• Students that are interested in dual enrollment
will need to complete the dual enrollment packet.
– Found online at
http://www.bedford.k12.mi.us/~shs/dual%20enrollm
ent.html
– By seeing Mr. Rousselo in B2

11. • In order to complete the packet students will
need to make an appointment with their
counselor.
• Counselors will help students with the
following:
– Getting a copy of the students high school
transcript
– Getting a copy of the students test scores that are
on file with the school
– Completing the Dual Enrollment Fact Sheet

12. • Students will need to note the course/section
they are requesting and the type of credit to
be earned on the MCCC Course Request Form.
• Completed packets, including all necessary
signatures, should be submitted to Mr.
Rousselo for approval and recording.
• In addition to the documents in the
packet, students should also turn in the
following:
– High School Transcript
– Copy of Test Results (EXPLORE, ACT, etc.)

13. How is the course paid for?
• School districts are required to pay the amount
equal to the prorated percentage of the
statewide pupil-weighted average foundation
allowance, based on the proportion of the school
year that the eligible student attends the eligible
postsecondary institution. Eligible charges
include tuition and mandatory course
fees, material fees, and registration fees. Eligible
charges do not include transportation or parking
costs or activity fees.

14. • The district pays for the course tuition and
fees when the student drops a Bedford class
to be replaced with a college class.
• Students can choose to take a college class
without dropping a Bedford class. The student
would then be considered a “Concurrent
Student.”
– The district does not pay for any portion of the
tuition or fees for Concurrent Students.
• Textbooks are not included under the material
fees.

15. • The district will pay for up to ten postsecondary
courses in a student’s high school career.
• The state does provide the following guideline as to
how many courses a student can take each year.
– If the student first enrolls in a course when the student is
in grade 9, not more than 2 courses during each of the
first three years of dual enrollment. And not more than 4
courses during the fourth year of dual enrollment.
– If the student first enrolls in a course when the student is
in grade 10, not more than 2 courses during the first year
of dual enrollment. And not more than 4 courses during
each of the second and third year of dual enrollment.

16. – If the student first enrolls in a course when the
student is in grade 11 or 12, not more than 6
courses during either of those academic years of
dual enrollment.
• It is also very important for students and
parents to understand that students that do
not successfully complete their dual
enrollment course(s) shall be required to
repay the school district any funds that were
expended for the course(s).

17. What type of credit does a student
earn?
• Students have the choice in which type of credit
they will earn.
• Students may elect to earn college credit only.
– Course grade will not be entered on the student’s high
school transcript nor impact their high school GPA
• Students may elect to earn college and high
school credit.
– Course grade will be entered on the high school
transcript and will impact their high school GPA

18. • The election of which type of credit must be
made when turning in dual enrollment packet.
– This election is made on the MCCC Course
Request Form
• Once the packet has been submitted this
election cannot be changed.
• Students are encouraged to think about their
remaining high school plan when electing the
type of credit.

19. • Below you can see how many credits students
will need to graduate, how many total credits
they could earn, and the difference between
the two. This can be used for planning
purposes.
Class of 2014 Class of 2015 Class of 2016 Class of 2017 &
beyond
Credits Required for 26.0 24.5 23.0 22.0
Diploma
Number of Potential 28.5 27.0 25.5 24.0
High School Credits
Amount of Credit 2.5 2.5 2.5 2.0
Cushion

20. • For example: A student in the class of 2017
could take four dual enrollment classes for
college credit only. If they earn all other high
school credits they would graduate with 22.0
credits.
– Assuming that this student has earned all of their
other high school credits and wanted to take a
fifth dual enrollment course. They would need to
have taken at least one of their dual enrollment
courses for high school and college credit in order
to earn the minimum credits for graduation.

21. • If a student elects to earn both high school
and college credit, each course that they take
in dual enrollment is worth 0.5 high school
credit.
– This is not equal to the number of credit hours the
college offers.
• Each dual enrollment course is equal to one
Bedford High School semester course.
– One dual enrollment course in the fall semester at
MCCC is equal to one first semester Bedford High
School course.
