Advance Placement (AP) and 

Dual Enrollment

There are multiple ways to earn college credit while in high school.  While Advanced Placement may be the most well known, there are other programs to consider. In all cases, it is important that students realize that in taking college level classes, it will require a commitment of time, money, and sustained effort. There may be more complexity to a college level course. Keep in mind, if enrolling with a college, your registration will generate a college transcript. As a high school student, it stands to reason that you would want that college transcript to be a positive reflection of your efforts.

 AP Payment

Each exam will cost $97. If you qualify for free/reduced lunches (in a typical school year), you will receive a reduced price on the exam. If you have not already submitted your

free/reduced lunch application for this school year, please do so ASAP.


Payments will be accepted starting in January this year. More information to follow.

You are expected to take the exam if enrolled in an AP course, unless alternate college credit is offered. College credit is awarded based on your score on the AP Exam; colleges and universities have their own requirements as to what credit they will accept and how they will distribute that credit.

  

Choosing Advanced Placement vs. College Credit

The following courses offer a choice between taking the AP exam OR registering for college credit at Hilbert College or SUNY Erie:

AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Computer Science A, AP Computer Science Principles, AP English 12, AP Environmental Science, AP Statistics

Students will send their score report from College Board to their college. Students CAN choose to enroll in the college credit AND take the AP exam.

Students must register/Join on College Board by November 15th if they choose to take the AP exam. Late registrants, or deciding not to take the exam will result in a $40 fee.
