PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER!

What is an AP Class? AP stands for Advanced Placement, which means a student could possibly earn college credit for the course if he/she passes the course AND the AP Exam, which is designed by the College Board. These classes require an application process. Because of the rigorous curriculum and work load of an AP course, final grades earn students two extra GPA points in comparison to regular classes and grade scales. Example: A = 6 pts.F = O pts. (as regular grading scale) B = 5 pts. C – 4 pts. D – 3 pts.

Each AP exam costs $87 These fees are due December 20, 2012

AP COURSES ON LINE! Many courses are offered on line through North Carolina Virtual High School, no application is necessary; however, $87 exam fees still apply. Students can participate in these courses during ANY period of the school day. Students are in a computer lab under the supervision of a classroom facilitator. A facilitator is NOT a teacher and does not serve as a tutor in any way. Teachers of these courses are certified and communicate and instruct strictly on line; they may be based anywhere in NC or in some cases, other states.

On Site Course/On Line Course On Site On Line Teacher has face to face instruction and communication with students on a daily basis. Teacher is available before/after school for help. Teacher provides guidance with subject matter & work load, and adjusts curriculum to fit class time. Teacher provides instruction through s and other technological means. Teachers answer questions and provide suggestions on line but are not always readily available. Student reads content & organizes work load to fit his/her own schedule. Students complete each course by working independently at their own pace. Struggling students must rely on their own resources for success.

What is an Advanced Course? Has a more challenging curriculum than a regular course NOT as rigorous as an AP course, which is tested by the College Board Advanced course exams are teacher-made. Students do NOT receive college credit. No College Board exam so no exam fee Students earn an extra GPA point for individual grades. Example: A = 5, B = 4, C = 3, D = 2, F = O

DEADLINES TO REMEMBER! Students interested in AP/Advanced courses may access the applications at ths.haywood.k12.nc.us beginning Jan. 19. Completed applications AND signed parental permission letters are due to the counseling center on or before Jan. 27. Final rosters for classes will be posted Feb. 15. Students may remove their name from an AP/Advanced Course roster the week of Feb. 15 – 23. Rosters are finalized and NO changes made after Feb. 24.
