9. DE vs. AP Earning College Credit; which path is right for you?
Dual Enrollment
College credit is awarded with completion of class with a grade of C or better
DE courses are indicator of success at the college level because students have been tested in real college environments. Students in DE classes are treated as college students with high level of responsibility placed on them
All state colleges and universities in Florida accept SJRSC DE Credits. Colleges and Universities in other states are very likely to accept them as well
Admissions counselors smile upon successful completion of Dual Enrollment classes. However, earning a grade of C or lower could negatively impact admissions
Class grade (GPA) transfer with you to college
One DE courses equals 3 college credits hours
Private colleges and universities are free to establish their own transfer criteria therefore it is best to check in advance pertaining to the schools DE policy
Advanced Placement
College credit is awarded with a 3 or higher on the AP exam; high school credit is awarded by class grade
AP tests are a demonstration of proficiency and competency in subject matter based on class grade and score on AP test. A high score on the AP exam signifies that you are a good student who can handle college level work
All state colleges and universities in Florida accept AP credits. Colleges and Universities in other states are very likely to accept them as well
Admissions counselors smile upon successful completion of AP classes. A grade of a C in an AP class is not considered negative when applying to college
Class grade (GPA) will not transfer with you to college
A high score on the AP exam could earn multiple college credits depending on exam and score
Private colleges and universities are free to establish their own transfer criteria therefore it is best to check in advance pertaining to the schools AP policy
