For students who have completed all available high school level content in a discipline and need to attend college to move themselves forward academically. Read below for more information.
Advanced Placement (AP) Courses:
Advanced Placement (AP) Courses:
AP courses are offered through The College Board. Students take an exam in May. That exam is graded in June by AP Readers, who consist of professors and high school teachers.
Test takers earn a score of 1-5, where a 5 is comparable to an A in that course.
Not every college honors AP scores; the AP Credit Policy Search is a helpful tool to determine if a college will honor an exam.
Dual Enrollment Courses:
Dual Enrollment Courses:
Dual Enrollment is a situation where a high school student is taking a college-level course AND the district and a university have an articulated agreement to award credit on both the high school and a university transcript.
Students who are dually enrolled receive credit toward high school graduation AND an academic transcript for the college credit they earned.
There are two types of Dual Enrollment: UConn ECE classes and taking courses at a college / university. Students who have completed a UConn ECE class can use this tool to determine if the credit earned will be honored at another college.
Read on to learn more about the two different types of dual enrollment.
These courses are offered in high school and they also carry college credits.
These courses require separate registration and may have additional assignments or exams as directed by the college or university.
This tool will help you determine if credit will transfer to another college or university.
