What is Dual Enrollment?
Dual enrollment is an opportunity for students in grades 9-12 to take classes in high school and one or more college level classes on a college campus or online university. These are courses not offered at your high school or that cannot fit into your schedule.
Qualifications: To be eligible to take a dual enrollment course, you must have a qualifying score on the ACT, SAT or Michigan Merit Exam (see chart on back side).
Credit: Courses can count for high school credit, college credit, or both– it’s up to you.
Course Costs: Depending on the college’s tuition rates, some or all of the costs are covered by the school district.
Course Location: College campus or online.
Transportation: Provided by student
Eligible Courses Include:
Non-Eligible Courses
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.
Eligibility
Student eligibility to participate in dual enrollment is determined by qualifying scores (see chart below) in that subject area as well as the student meeting the prerequisite for the college course. For example, a student would need to finish Calculus in order to dual enroll in math. A student who has taken the MME, ACT or SAT and meets the qualifying score in appropriate subject area on one of those exams is eligible for dual enrollment.
The MME, ACT, SAT scores are designed to be indicative of whether or not a student is ready to take post-secondary courses and succeed without remediation.

If a student has not taken the ACT, SAT or MME, these are the steps to determine eligibility. The EXPLORE, PLAN or PSAT scores are looked at to indicate whether or not a student is on track to be ready to take post-secondary courses and succeed without remediation. If a student meets qualifying scores on one of these tests, the student would need to take the ACT, MME or SAT to prove eligibility according to the chart above.

Eligible Courses Include:
- A course offered by an eligible post-secondary institution that is not offered by Avondale High School, including Advanced Placement and online courses.
- A course offered by the school district but there is a scheduling conflict beyond the eligible student's control.
- A course offered by a college CTE program that is offered for college credit or is part of a noncredit occupational training program leading to an industry-recognized credential that is not offered or goes beyond what is offered through the school district, intermediate school district, area vocational-technical education program (OSTC, Business, Drafting, Child Development, etc.).
- If we offer an equivalent course (AP) these courses have precedence over an entry level post-secondary course with similar content. If a student is interested in a certain course at the college level, they need to determine with their counselor what, if any, courses at the high school level are equal to the college course being requested.
