Bay Mills Community College is an established and accredited community college that qualifies to participate in the State of Michigan’s Postsecondary Enrollment Option Act by offering dual enrollment to qualified pupils who are eligible to enroll in postsecondary institutions.

BMCC accepts students who have completed at least one semester of high school with a cumulative GPA of at least a 3.0 and who have been determined eligible by their school district, and who have met the requirements outlined in the PSEOA. Students enrolling in CTE courses must have a cumulative GPA of at least a 2.0. Students will be restricted to a maximum of two courses per semester or not more than 8 credits unless waived by BMCC. It is the responsibility of the school district to ensure the student meets the eligibility criteria, including academic readiness, course eligibility, and limitations under the PSEOAs section 388.514.

Payment for courses will be the responsibility of the school district, which will include tuition and mandatory course fees, materials fees (including textbooks), and registration fees, or an amount equal to the lesser amount of the portion of the statewide weighted-average foundation allowance for the student. Other costs will be the responsibility of the student/parent.

For the summer semester, Bay Mills Community College accepts high school students under the Dual Enrollment Provisions of the State of Michigan Department of Education guidelines, which do not require high schools to pay for college courses taken during the summer semester. The school must still sign off on the Dual Enrollment Application; however, the parent becomes the responsible payee, if the school doesn’t approve payment.

The PSEOA does not restrict the ability of an eligible student or any other pupil to enroll in BMCC courses without tuition and fee support; therefore, other students, including homeschooled, may enroll with the student’s parent/guardian held responsible for payment.
