<p>I will be graduating high school this year and attend the College of Engineering in the fall of 2006. While in high school I took 25 credits at a local college since our high school is a bit limited as far as classes. I'm confused by what they mean by "Please note that college courses taken at your high school are not transferable." How can you take college classes at a high school? I understand how you can take them while in high school, but not AT high school. I did receive 1/4 HS credit for every college credit. I need 28 HS credits to graduate and I have 33.5, I think, so does that mean I can have 5.5 HS which would be 22 college credits to be taken off my transcript so that they can be transfered to UM?</p>
<p>25 credits? what kinda classes were those? 1st off, it's possible to take college classes AT high school because you can have the professors come to your school. UM doesn't give credits to those classes. 2nd, I heard that you can't double-dip, which means you can only have your credits count toward your high school OR college credits. Since you said .25 goes toward your HS credit for every college credit, you might not get anything. Ask your academic adviser at orientation I suppose. I hope everything works out for you.</p>
<p>Thats what I was kind of figuring. I took Calc 2, Calc 3, Diff. Eq., Japanese I, Jap II, Java Programming, and Java Web Development. I didn't realize that professors came to schools. Its somewhat dissapointing that others in my graduating class that are going to schools like U of Wisconsin-Madison and U or Minnesota-Twin Cities are able to double-dip, but I guess I shouldn't expect much.</p>
<p>I took college classes AT my high school. They were called "dual credit" courses. They are taught by a Masters level high school teacher, out of college text books, and based on a college curriculum. The only difference is you are competing against the top students at your high school versus local college students. Michigan will not accept these courses. In my situation, the high school students did better on the same tests than the local college students. The state universities in my region of the country will allow you to get college credit for these courses. By choosing Michigan over my flagship state school, I lost about 15 hours. However, IMO it was worth it.</p>
