The senior thesis is the capstone of a classical education, that affords the students a final opportunity to reflect on the wisdom and practice the skills their education has fostered. Close reading, logical writing, and clear speaking are fundamental skills that the students will utilize as they reflect deeply and analytically upon their chosen topic. Socrates tells us that the philosopher is one who has time or takes time. Yet, as our seniors approach college, the frenetic pace of this final year will give them a sense of constant acceleration. Most high school graduates will say that senior year was a blur, but we hope that ours will remember the months spent reflecting on a question that positioned them to lead good and noble lives.
Dual Enrollment allows high school students to take college-level courses and earn college credit while still enrolled in high school. Students are enrolled in both their high school and the partnering college at the same time.
The State of Michigan provides funding to cover the cost of many dual enrollment courses. In many cases, this means students can take these courses at no cost. However, if a course exceeds the amount covered by the state, families may be responsible for the difference. To understand whether any costs will apply, please meet with your student’s School Counselor.
Any available funds remaining after tuition is covered can be used toward the cost of textbooks. If there are not enough funds to cover all book expenses, the student is responsible for the remaining balance.
If a student fails a dual enrollment course, they will receive an “F” on their high school and/or college transcripts. Failing a course can affect eligibility for future dual enrollment opportunities and may require the family to reimburse the district for the course. Additionally, a failing grade can impact the student’s eligibility for future financial aid (such as scholarships, grants, or loans). Students who are struggling should reach out to their instructor and School Counselor right away for support.
If a student decides a college course is not a good fit, they may drop it during the college’s official add/drop period. Dropping a course after this period may result in the family needing to repay the district for the cost. If a student drops a college course, they must replace it with another college or high school class to maintain a full schedule.
The State of Michigan allows students to take up to 10 dual enrollment courses throughout their high school years. There are guidelines on how and when these can be taken, so please consult your School Counselor for more information.
Yes, LCA allows students to take dual enrollment courses over the summer. Please note that these courses will count toward the upcoming school year, not the previous one, and they do not count toward full-time enrollment for the following semester.
Eligibility is based on qualifying test scores.
Courses must be offered by an approved college or university and must not duplicate a course already offered at the high school. For example, a student must take high school Government before enrolling in a college-level Government class. Courses must be for credit (minimum of 2 college credits) and be numbered 100 or higher.
Courses related to hobbies, crafts, recreation, physical education, theology, divinity, or religious education are not eligible for dual enrollment.
Transferability depends on the college a student plans to attend after high school. Each college has its own policy regarding which credits they will accept. It is recommended that families check directly with potential colleges by visiting their transfer student webpages and using their course equivalency tools to confirm whether the dual enrollment class will transfer.
