College and AP Credits
Advanced Placement
Shaker High School offers a variety of Advanced Placement courses for students who wish to earn advanced college placement or college credit in particular subjects. Awarding of this advanced placement or course credit is based on the student’s AP exam grade and the specific requirements and expectations of the college or university that the student will be attending. Please note that the AP examination is required of all students taking an AP course. A fee is charged by the College Board and must be paid or the student may be placed in a different course. Students must complete an AP application for each Advanced Placement course for which they are interested in enrolling. Applications can be obtained from the secretary to the supervisors’. The specific deadline date will be clearly marked on the application and also announced by subject area teachers and supervisors. Specific AP questions should be discussed with the Department Supervisors.

The University in the High School (UHS) Program
In order to provide qualified Shaker High School students with an opportunity to acquire college credit, many courses have been developed in collaboration with local colleges. In order to enroll in a UHS course, students must meet the established prerequisites. College credit will be granted in UHS courses if the student achieves a grade of 75 or higher. A student must earn a minimum grade of 65 in order to receive Shaker High School credit towards graduation. There are no exemptions from final examinations. Individual courses should be discussed with Department Supervisors. The transferability of these courses is determined by the college or university the student will be attending. There is no guarantee that college credits earned while in high school will be accepted by a student’s college or university.
