| An Advanced Placement course is a college
level course offered to high school students. The content of the course
and the rigor with which it is approached is the same as experienced
on the college campus. A college text is used. Students enrolled in
an AP course take the Advanced Placement examination conducted by
the College Board in May.
If the college of the student's choice accepts Advanced Placement
and if the student achieves an acceptable score on the AP exam,
the college will grant credit for the course at no additional expense
beyond the examination fee. Grades from Advanced
Placement courses are weighted in computing a student's grade
point average and rank in class.
