• Flex Options

      Flex is the ability for students to modify the Michigan Merit Curriculum by replacing a required credit with an alternate course. Students can flex out of physical education and 1 year of a world language. 

      Students can use this application to request a Flex option for course replacement.

      Requirements 

      • Physical Education: The .5 credit for Physical Education may also be awarded by the school district or public school academy for approved participation in extracurricular athletics or other extracurricular activities involving physical activity. Please note, however, that this pertains only to the MMC's physical education credit guidelines, not the health education credit guidelines. 

      • World Language: Students may partially or fully fulfill one credit of the World Language requirement by completing a department-approved formal CTE program or by completing Visual, Performing, or Applied Arts instruction in addition to the Visual, Performing, and Applied Arts requirement. 

       

      Personal Curriculum

      Purpose of Personal Curriculum

      The Personal Curriculum is a process of modifying specific credit requirements and/or content expectations based on a student's individual learning needs. It is designed to serve students who want to accelerate or go beyond the MMC requirements and students who need to individualize learning requirements to meet the MMC requirements.

      A Personal Curriculum allows several flexible learning options, including:

      • Earn additional credit in specific subject areas and count these credits toward meeting the state requirements.
      • Allowing modifications of the MMC necessary to demonstrate proficiency for students transferring to a district from out of state or from a nonpublic school.

      Dual Enrollment

      Eligible high school students are provided an opportunity to enroll in college courses. The school district provides money for tuition, mandatory course materials, and registration fees. Dual enrollment classes replace classes within your high school schedule. To enroll in a dual enrollment course, students must have exceeded the ability to take classes in the same pathway within the UCS curriculum. Students must apply for Dual Enrollment with their school counselor before the semester in which they are taking a dual enrollment course.
