ADVANCED PLACEMENT® (AP®) COURSES
Students have the opportunity to potentially earn college credit by enrolling in the Advanced Placement® (AP®) Courses offered at OTHS. Students must meet academic criteria to enroll and are responsible for any fees associated with the class and exam. Earning college credit is contingent upon a student’s score earned on the optional AP® Exam and the credit the higher education institution awards for the scores earned. Colleges and Universities have varying practices for the awarding of credit for AP® Coursework. Students are advised to research this information for the schools they may wish to attend. Information on AP® Coursework is available from the school counselors and/or instructors of the AP® Classes.
