The State of Michigan established a dual enrollment program to allow students an opportunity to take classes at local colleges. Students are eligible to participate in any grade. The number of courses allowed per year and the maximum of courses allowed varies by grade. The school district assists students in paying tuition (up to a limited amount determined by the Grandville Public Schools Business Office) for courses at Michigan public or private colleges or universities. Students/Parents are responsible for paying tuition, fees and other expenses that exceed the allowable maximum. Dual enrolled students are still required to take all subject area tests of the Michigan Merit Exam/SAT. The college class must be an academic class not available at the high school and taken during the school year. Students must notify their counselors of their intent to take dual enrollment classes by May 1 for the fall semester and November 1 for the winter semester of each year. Students are expected to attend and complete the dual enrollment classes. Dual enrollment classes that are dropped by a student violate the required SIX (6)-class enrollment policy and tuition not refunded to the district must be repaid by the student. Additional information on dual enrollment is available in the Counseling Office.
