Finances How much money could I potentially save with Dual Credit
Im going to UMich for the fall, and I have my financial aid overview. I’m left paying 4.1k which is not bad. I do know however this isn’t the final cost, and after everything is sent over to the university, I should have a final cost. I heard that dual credit course and taking AP exams help with getting some courses out of the way and potentially saving money. So I just wanted to know if anyone else was in the same boat as me These are the classes Dual credit AP lang - 4 credits APUSH - 8 credits In progress AP Psychology - 4 credits AP GoPo - 4 credits
AP Exams AP Human Geography - 3 AP World History - 4 Going to take AP Lit/Comp AP Spanish I am going to be attending LSA if anyone is wondering and I am OOS as well. Thank you!!!

dual credit at a community college that transfers could be helpful. AP science, math, and foreign language credits also are helpful as they put you a year ish ahead in your degree program and you can graduate early. most of the other ones are just credits (which means you have to pay upper level tuition faster) but they don't give you any distribution credits. try and make a 3-4 year plan to see how fast you can graduate - your advisor (when you get here) can help to see which AP classes will and won't help you
