Earning College Credit in High School AP Courses: The Advanced Placement Program, administered by The College Board, allows students to participate in college level courses and possibly earn college credit while still in high school. Secondary schools and colleges cooperate in this program to give students the opportunity to show mastery in college-level courses by taking the AP exam in May of each school year. College Credit Plus: Eligible students can take a course and earn high school and college credit that appears on both their high school and college transcripts. All courses offered through College Credit Plus-even courses offered in the high school-must be the same course that the college offers. The course must apply to a degree or professional certificate. College Credit Plus replaces the Post- Secondary Education Option, also known as PSEO, and redefines “alternative dual enrollment” programs as advanced standing programs. To be eligible, students must meet the admission standards of the participating college or university to which they apply for enrollment and test “remediation free” on a college placement test. There is no cost for the student to participate in College Credit Plus when the student is enrolled in a public college or university. Earning College Credit in High School

The student registration process is one of the most important functions that a student performs each year. It determines the courses the school will offer, development of student scheduling, and how the school utilizes its staff. When a student completes the registration process, he/she enters into a contract with the school. LHS asks its students to be most careful and accurate in selecting their courses each year. Talk to upperclass students and teachers about your course selections. Read the LHS Program of Studies for course descriptions. The deadline for requesting course changes is June 1st The only schedule changes made during the school year will be for a failed class that must be repeated, a change in academic level, or a change based on the recommendation of the course teacher. Choose Carefully….
