No. Students who remain in good academic standing and continue enrolling in courses do not need to reapply. However, if there is a gap in enrollment, you will need to submit a new application.
You can find available classes through the WMU Course Offerings website. Make sure to check with your high school counselor about which classes fit with your high school graduation plan. Classes fill up quickly, so it is best to apply and enroll as soon as possible before the start of a semester.
To review and schedule your courses please email @email.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects student education records. When a student enrolls in a dual enrollment college course, these privacy rights transfer to the student, so the college can only share information with parents or guardians if the student provides permission. WMU's FERPA policy.
All WMU dual enrollment credits can be applied to a future degree at WMU. To learn more about transferring credits to other Michigan colleges, check out the Michigan Transfer Network website.
If a course has a prerequisite and you believe that your AP exam score meets the requirement to give you credit for that course, then email Kimmy Beuchler (include your WIN, the course you are interested in, and a copy of your AP score report).
