WCCCD and WSU Dual Enrollment
Things you should know…
Classes for Virtual and In-Person instruction is scheduled to start September 25, 2023. WSU started classes August 28, 2023.
WCCCD uses Webgate and Blackboard for online instruction and to conduct college business, transcript requests, etc.
Students will be provided with instructions via Teams and on the CT website on how to access Webgate and Blackboard. https://www.wcccd.edu/dept/distance_learning_new_students.html
In-Person classes are held at Cass Tech after school-M/W, T/Th, or Saturday. Information is posted on the CT website, under Programs&Activities, and in the WCCCD Dual Enrollment Teams Chat.
ALL WCCCD Dual Enrollment students will be assigned an “A-Number.” A-Numbers are college identification numbers and MUST be used to conduct ALL college business, including emails to college professors, and our WCCCD liaison-Mr. Lonnie Peek, requesting Transcripts, etc.
A-Numbers are assigned by WCCCD-Not DPSCD or Cass Tech!
***Banner Numbers and Access ID’s are assigned to students via WSU-Not DPSCD or Cass Tech for the Mike Ilitch School of Business Program.
The Ilitch program holds classes M/W or T/TH from 3:45pm-5pm at the Mike Ilitch School of Business at the corner of Temple and Woodward.
Students only earn College Credit in the Ilitch program. * The WSU is building its program and is currently offering courses to Juniors and Seniors.
WSU uses Canvas as their Learning Management System platform.
WSU Dual Enrollment students meet in the North Lobby each day before walking over to campus.
Online classes are Asynchronous and self-paced courses facilitated and monitored by college professors. Students are REQUIRED to follow the course syllabus and complete assignments, activities and projects by the due dates listed on the course syllabus. *Remember, these are college courses and not DPSCD or Cass Tech courses. Students must follow the guidelines of WCCCD. DPSCD and Cass Tech Do Not have access to WCCCD databases. Course concerns, grading, access, etc., are all governed by WCCCD!!!
In-Person classes will meet after school at Cass Tech in assigned classrooms Monday-Thursday and on Saturdays. After school classes are scheduled from 3:30pm-4:55pm for 3 credit courses and or 3:30pm-5:25pm for 4 credit courses. Saturday classes meet from 9am-11:55am.
Dual Enrollment classes are free. However, if a student fails a class, walks away from a class without dropping the class, or does not drop the class during the Drop/Add window, Parents/Guardians are subject to be assessed a fee from the college for the course and ALL applicable registration fees.
Students on the Associate Degree Track Must complete all Degree requirements to qualify for the Degree. The Associate Degree Track requires completion of 60 credits. The requirements are currently in the WCCCD Teams chat, and will be posted on the CT website. https://www.wcccd.edu/academic/pdfs/programs/Associate%20of%20Gen%20Studies.pdf
Starting in October 2023, Cass Tech will hold WCCCD Wednesdays from 10am-12pm, for students to meet with Mr. Lonnie Peek, our WCCCD Liaison and College Advisor to discuss courses, ensure students have been assigned A-Numbers, audit transcripts, complete transcript requests, etc. (Passes will be provided to students)
If her schedule permits, Dr. Theresa Lindsey will also be onsite to meet with students.
Students are encouraged to keep track of their completed course work and request transcripts periodically. https://www.wcccd.edu/students/pdfs/transcript_instruction.pdf or https://www.wcccd.edu/students/cs_order.htm
We currently have defaulted to College credit only for all dual enrollment programs. We do not recommend High School Credit. If a student is a 4.0 high school student but earns a “B” or fails a dual enrollment class, it WILL adversely affect their overall GPA and class ranking.
We know students at CT may be involved in many activities. However, if a student decides to take college courses, we expect them to be committed to the program and fulfill the requirements. If you are involved in sports or other extracurricular activities, please weigh the demands of being a CT student, and your participation in sports & other clubs and organizations before taking classes. Cass Tech cannot and will not challenge the decision of the college and professors for students who do not fulfill their obligations and requirements as dual enrollment students.

Currently, Cass Tech has two Dual Enrollment partnerships…WCCCD and WSU Ilitch School of Business. WCCCD offers students a chance to earn college credit and/or earn an Associate Degree after successfully completing a 60 Credit Program.
Dual enrollment programs allow students to take college classes while they’re still enrolled in high school. These classes count for both high school and college credit. High school students who complete dual enrollment may need to take fewer classes in college due to earning transferable college credit. The recommended choice of credit is COLLEGE Credit ONLY and not both High School and College. Why? If a student selects high school and college credit, the grade they earn in classes will be calculated into their GPA and could adversely impact their GPA and class ranking.
The advantages of Dual Enrollment include:
Challenging Coursework…When students opt to take dual enrollment courses, they’re exposed to rigorous coursework with college professors teaching their courses.
Accelerated Learning…Since students begin earning college credit while still in high school, they can enter college with their prerequisites completed or halfway done. This shortens their graduation timeline and allows them more opportunities to explore electives and even double majors.
Cost-Effective…One of the biggest advantages of dual enrollment is the reduced price of higher education. With college tuition increasing over the past decades, dual enrollment courses provide the perfect opportunity to drive down your student’s out-of-pocket costs. If classes are offered through the high school your child attends, the fees for the courses are likely covered through the partnership. This allows students to get a taste of college with minimal financial burden—as a result, making college more attainable.
Things to consider:
Do Your Research… Credits May Not Transfer!!!
Students and parents need to research their college options and confirm if they will or will not accept dual enrollment course credit. In most cases credits will transfer. However, there are some circumstances when they won’t. For example, if your student chooses to attend a private university, there is a chance that they might not accept the credit due to not being able to verify the merit of the classes.
Another reason an institution might not accept the credit is if it’s located out of state. In that case, it could be difficult for credits to transfer. Or the school may accept the credit, but not count it toward your student’s degree.
Greater Expectations… Your child’s ability to BALANCE a busy schedule should be considered before deciding to participate in dual enrollment. Figuring out how to alter their schedule could be a difficult task for them to take on if they want to participate in sports and other extracurricular activities.
Additionally, the coursework is more challenging, and students will be graded based on their performance. With that, students who choose to enroll in dual enrollment courses have to be committed to putting in extra work to complete assignments and receive a passing grade.
Also, Parents can be assessed fees if a student does not pass a class, withdraw form a class, or walk away from a class.
Even with these things to consider…
Cass Tech has the largest Dual Enrollment Participants in the entire district.
Cass Tech has had, over the years, the largest WCCCD Dual Enrollment Associate Degree Graduates.
Cass Tech had 52 students in the WSU Mike Ilitch School of Business for Spring 2023. Enrollment for Fall 2023 is limited to Junior and Seniors ONLY!
Cass Tech has over 300+ students taking classes via WCCCD.
We Are CT Proud!

Mission
The International Baccalaureate® (IB) aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
To this end the IB works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment. These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
The IB Diploma Programme
Life in the 21st century, in an interconnected, globalized world, requires critical-thinking skills and a sense of international-mindedness, something that International Baccalaureate® (IB) Diploma Programme students come to know and understand.
What is the Diploma Programme?
The IB Diploma Programme is designed as an academically challenging and balanced programme of education with final examinations that prepare students, normally aged 16 to 19, for success at university and life beyond. The programme is normally taught over two years and has gained recognition and respect from the world's leading universities.
The curriculum
IB Diploma Programme students study six courses at higher level or standard level. Students must choose one subject from each of groups 1 to 5, thus ensuring breadth of experience in languages (English and a Global Language), Social Studies or Business, Sciences and Mathematics. The sixth subject may be an arts subject chosen from group 6, or the student may choose another subject from groups 1 to 5.
In addition the programme has three core requirements that are included to broaden the educational experience and challenge students to apply their knowledge and understanding.
The extended essay is a requirement for students to engage in independent research through an in-depth study of a question relating to one of the subjects they are studying.
Theory of knowledge is a course designed to encourage each student to reflect on the nature of knowledge by critically examining different ways of knowing (perception, emotion, language and reason) and different kinds of knowledge (scientific, artistic, mathematical and historical).
Creativity, activity & service require that students actively learn from the experience of doing real tasks beyond the classroom. Students can combine all three components or do activities related to each one of them separately.
What is the IB learner profile?
The IB learner profile is the IB mission statement translated into a set of learning outcomes for the 21st
century.The learner profile provides a long-term vision of education.
It is a set of ideals that can inspire, motivate and focus the work of schools and teachers, uniting them in a common purpose.
IB learners strive to be:
- Inquirers
- Knowledgeable
- Thinkers
- Communicators
- Principled
- Open-minded
- Caring
- Risk-takers
- Balanced
- Reflective
-
The U.S. Army Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) is one of thelargest character development and citizenship programs for youth in the world.The National Defense Act of 1916 established organized JROTC programs at public and private educational institutions. In 1964, Congress expanded the program to all military services and changed from active duty to shared support from the services and schools. As congressionally mandated by Title 10 United States Code, Section 2031, each military service must have a JROTC program to "instill in students in United States secondary educational institutions the values of citizenship, service to the United States, and personal responsibility and a sense of accomplishment." JROTC’s mission, "To Motivate Young People to be Better Citizens", is the guide post for the program’s success.
