Advanced Placement Program

Advanced Placement (AP) courses follow a national curriculum provided by The College Board, the publishers of the SAT college entrance exam. These courses give students the opportunity to earn college credit while still in high school. Each May, AP exams are offered to students as they complete their coursework. Students earning a minimum score on the exam may be eligible to receive either elective credit or course replacement credit, depending on the college or university policy. Parents and students are encouraged to review these policies on the college website for the colleges in consideration. These are college-level courses that reflect a student‘s willingness to follow the demands and rigor of college-level studies. AP courses assist students in stretching themselves to think and learn at a higher level and will help students stand out in the college admission process. A fee is required for each AP exam (approximately  $84).  Many students may qualify for a reduced rate based upon need.  The following AP courses are offered at UCHS pending sufficient enrollment:

AP Calculus AB	AP English Language and Composition	AP Studio Art: Drawing
