Dual Enrollment & Early College Orientation

Some courses have prerequisites listed within the course description. Dual Enrollment students can prove college-level readiness in R (Reading), E (Writing), and M (Math) for these courses through appropriate scores on the PSAT, SAT, ACT, or the Bay College assessments called Accuplacer (Reading & Writing) and ALEKS (Math).
 
Accuplacer and ALEKS placement assessments may be taken at Bay College, a Bay College testing site, or online with the Testing Services Manager at no cost to the student. If proctoring at a site is required, there may be an additional cost paid to that institution. Contact Bay College Testing Services for more information at testingservices@baycollege.edu or 906-217-4035.
 
AP scores, CLEP test scores, and/or transcripts from another college can also be used to prove eligibility for a class. The official transcript or score document from each of these institutions must be sent directly to Bay College.
 
There may also be course prerequisites. For instance, you must have a “C” or better in Accounting 101 before being able to register for Accounting 102.

Bay College classes that do not take place within the high school or ISD/Tech Center follow the Bay College Academic Calendar, which can be found on our website and on myBay. This calendar does not match up with the high school calendar.  Be sure you have important Bay College dates in your calendar so that you are prepared.

As an enrolled Bay College student, Dual Enrolled and Early College students have the rights and responsibilities of any other college student. Bay College provides opportunities for students to gain the knowledge, skills, judgment, and wisdom they need to function in society as responsible citizens. Plagiarism, falsifying data, and other forms of academic dishonesty are inconsistent with the college’s goals and mission. Students are expected to pursue their education at Bay College with honor and integrity.

Student Conduct & Discipline

With your Bay Student ID Card, you can log into campus copy machines, get discount prices for tickets to campus events, get free admission to campus movies and sporting events, and check out materials from the library. Students taking six credits or more may also use their Bay ID at the Delta County or Dickinson County YMCA.

Bay College is committed to providing an educational environment free from discrimination or harassment based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, age, disability, or other protected status.
