Q: Will I ever have to pay for a course?

Q: Do Dual Enrollment credits transfer?

A: Yes—Glen Oaks credits are highly transferable.
Students have successfully transferred their credits to universities and colleges across Michigan and beyond. However, we always recommend:

  • Check with your intended transfer college to confirm how credits will apply to your future major or degree
  • Speak with your Glen Oaks advisor to make smart course selections
