Available AP Courses
Advanced Placement (AP) courses are available at AAST. Students must meet the established criteria before they can enroll in an AP course. The specific criteria are explained in the course descriptions. These courses offer college-level instruction in high school and prepare the student for the rigors of college.
Students must take the AP Exam and the Extension Honors linked course, if required, to receive AP weighted credit. Successful scores on the AP Exam may qualify students for college credit and
advanced standing in colleges and universities throughout the United States. Because AP courses are college-level courses, students should expect intensified study and greater demands placed on their time and energy.

Dual Enrollment Courses
Dual Enrollment Courses
Dual enrollment/PACE courses are university-parallel courses as listed in Horry Georgetown Technical College (HGTC) Statewide Articulation Agreement that are transferable to South Carolina senior institutions and satisfy the requirements for a South Carolina high school diploma. Students can take these classes during the regular school day. Students may only enroll in Dual Enrollment classes during the junior and/or senior year at AAST; however, those students interested in taking Dual Enrollment Courses should meet with their guidance counselor to determine eligibility in individual cases. To be eligible for dual enrollment courses, students must have an eligible SAT or ACT score, or transcript review.
Dual-Enrollment Course Costs:
• Students will be responsible for the tuition and cost of textbooks for college-transfer core courses (English, math, science, history) unless one of the following applies:
• A face-to-face core course for equivalent credit is not offered at the base high school.
• The student has taken all equivalent core courses in a core subject offered at the base school. (For example, English III and IV AP before taking English 101 and 102)
• Students will be responsible for the tuition and cost of textbooks for career and technology courses unless courses are required for specific approved career and technology majors as outlined in the articulation agreements between HCS and HGTC.
For more information on Dual Enrollment courses, please contact the Guidance Department.
