Advanced Courses

Advanced Placement (AP) courses are offered by the College Board (the makers of the SAT) and allow you to earn college credit with a qualifying score on an end-of-course exam and/or qualify you for more advanced classes when you begin college. They are designed to be taught as entry level college courses, and they are weighted one full point.

Many qualified students are eligible to take college courses while in high school. Dual credit courses are offered at partnering high schools in WV and provide students the ability to take courses for both high school and college credit. Classes are open to qualified high school juniors and seniors. High school freshman and sophomores are able to take dual credit courses on a limited basis and additional admission requirements apply. Dual Enrollment courses are weighted one full point.

Qualified high school students may take online courses during the college term. Students can take a combination of dual credit and online college courses. Online college courses are weighted one half point.
