Lake Michigan College Glossary of Terms
Direct credit classes - College courses used for credit
at both the high school and college level. Students attend class
at their high school or at one of the LMC campuses. What makes
them different from dual enrollment classes is that they are taught
by high school teachers who have been credentialed as college
instructors. Grades and credit are recorded on an official LMC
transcript as college-level courses. Tuition
and fees are charged at 25% of college tuition and fees.*
Dual enrollment classes - College courses that may be
used for credit at both the high school and college level. Students
attend class at one of the LMC campuses or at their high school.
The classes are taught by LMC faculty members. Grades and credit
are recorded on an official LMC transcript as college-level courses.
Tuition
and fees are charged at 100% of college tuition and fees.*
Academy and Shared-time Programs - Classes in which a
student may be dual enrolled in their high school, another area
high school, and LMC. Classes are typically held at one of the
LMC campuses and taught by college faculty or high school teachers
who are credentialed to teach at the college level. These courses
may consist of either direct credit or dual enrollment classes,
or a combination of both.
Career Technical Education - Career and technical education
programs are designed to prepare students for a wide range of
employment opportunities and post-secondary training. They are
offered under the guidance of certified teachers and counselors
at many high schools, area vocational centers, and LMC campuses.
Articulated Credit - Many career and technical education
classes are aligned with LMC classes. Students completing these
classes with a "B" or higher who request
articulated credit within 24 months of graduation and who
meet all articulation requirements may be eligible to receive
college credit at LMC for course work they completed during high
school.
Experiential Learning Credit - Students are awarded credit
for their mastery of a subject. Appropriate demonstration of knowledge
through written, oral, performance, or combination exams is required.
Earned certificates at the secondary level, such as Cisco, CCNA,
and Red Cross certification, will often result in the awarding
of experiential credit.
