Non-Cross Students AP Policy

AP courses offer a curriculum created by the College Board. Students earn high school credit when they complete the course. In May, students enrolled in AP courses are expected to sit for an AP Exam generated by the College Board and facilitated at the school. If a student earns a qualifying score, the college or university the student attends may accept the course toward a required course within a program of study. The decision to accept or not to accept scores is the decision of the college or university. It is not the decision of the College Board and not the decision of Wilbur Cross High School.

Students are expected to diligently engage with all coursework and spend the time needed to learn the course material. For their AP courses, students must sit for a single culminating high-stakes exam during their scheduled exam period (typically the first two weeks in May). Students who do not take the AP Exam will have the course designation removed from their transcript, and the course quality points will change to 4.5 instead of 5.0. In addition, students who do not take the AP Exam will pay any unused exam fees.
