Dual Enrollment

Dual Enrollment (DE) courses allow qualified high school students to:

• • earn college and high school credit at the same time

  • students can take DE courses in Career Technical Education or as an alternative to Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate classes

Why Dual Enrollment?

• • Save time and money

  • Easier transition to college

  • Preparation for the rigors of college-level studies

Articulated Credit

Articulated courses offer students the opportunity to earn early college credit. A formal agreement with the high school teacher and college faculty that:

• curriculum, including textbooks, syllabus, and course outline are the same.

• the final exam score will be used as a credit-by-exam for the comparable college course.

Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate

Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) courses are rigorous, college-level classes.

Students in IB:

• many classes are taken throughout the junior and senior year and culminate into the early college opportunity by exam

• classes give extra weight (strengthen student’s GPA) to IB class grades.

• the IB program is offered at West Valley High School.

Students in AP:

• advanced Placement classes can be semester or year-long courses.

• classes give extra weight (strengthen student’s GPA) to AP class grades.
