Advanced Placement (AP) Program

College Board Advanced Placement (AP) Program

The Advanced Placement Program, monitored by the College Board, offers ambitious and capable high school students an opportunity to take college-level courses. If the student scores within an acceptable range on the advanced placement exam, course credit or entry at a higher course level may be awarded upon college entrance which translates to saving money and time.

College Credit Policies

Well before taking AP exams, students should contact the directors of admissions at the colleges of their choice to ask about specific advanced placement and credit policies. Colleges and universities should be prepared to tell the student in writing what credit and/or advanced placement will be granted for a given score on an AP exam, including any courses from which the student will be exempted or any higher-level courses the student will be allowed to enter. The College Board provides course descriptions and examinations. Course descriptions can be found on the AP Central website.

High school teachers use these rigorous course descriptions in curriculum planning and in preparing students to take an Advanced Placement examination at the end of AP level courses.

AP Registration Fee

Students are required to pay AP registration fees as determined by the College Board. If a student cannot afford the registration fee, the student should see the bookkeeper to seek scholarship availability.
