Most students save nearly $1,000 per college course they take while in High School
Students can either earn a degree or significantly reduce the amount of time it takes to get a degree by taking college courses in high school.
Both Advanced Placement and Concurrent Enrollment courses are college level classes taught at Roy High School. Since they are both college level courses, the coursework is more rigorous. Students can earn college credit by taking either type of class. However, there are some differences, which are listed below:
Advanced Placement (AP)
Typically full year classes
3.0 Cumulative GPA Recommended
College credit is only awarded if the AP test is passed with a score of a 3 or higher
If you do not score a 3 or higher, you can still earn high school credit
The test score does not affect your GPA
AP tests cost $98
Typically semester classes
3.0 Cumulative GPA is highly recommended
Letter grades are issued once the test is completed
Must earn a "C" or higher to receive college credit
Most credits are awarded by Weber State University and can be transferred to other universities
A failing grade will be recorded on your high school transcript as well as your college transcript and will impact your GPA
Concurrent Enrollment credit costs $5 per college credit
Students who earn 9 or more C.E. credits with a "B" average or higher qualify for Weber State University's Edge Scholarship.
