WHS COURSE OFFERINGS

Advanced Standing (AS): Advanced standing allows a student to gain retroactive, tuition-free credit from past high school courses. In
order to receive retroactive credit, the student must complete the course to specific conditions (i.e., grades, attendance
requirements, etc.) AND enroll in the technical college within 27 months of graduation.

Cooperative Academic Partnership Program (CAPP): a convenient and affordable way for high school students to earn concurrent
high school and college credit, while developing key skills for future success. Note: Qualified juniors and seniors may earn college credit
through CAPP. All dual credit options are dependent upon appropriate teacher certification and may change with changes in staffing.
11-13 additional credits may be earned retroactively upon enrollment in the UW system if a grade of A or B is earned both semesters.
Additional four-year universities may offer retroactive credit, please check with the individual university.

College Level Examination Program (CLEP): A group of standardized tests that assess college-level knowledge in several subject
areas that are administered at more than 1,700 colleges and universities across the US created by the College Board. Each institution
awards credit to students who meet the college's minimum qualifying score, typically 50, but does vary.

Dual Credit (DC): Dual credit allows high school students to take a college-level course at their high school, taught by a certified high
school instructor and receive technical college credit if all Dual-Credit requirements are met. These may include earning a specific
grade or enrolling at a specific grade level. The course curriculum matches the Madison College course taught on campus.

Laude (L1, L2, L**): WHS courses designated as rigorous academic classes. Full description here.

NCAA Approved (N): WHS core courses approved for prospective student-athletes seeking NCAA initial-eligibility.

Project Lead the Way (P): Project Lead the Way (PLTW) is the nation’s leading provider of K-12 STEM programs which are designed to
help students develop the skills necessary to succeed in the global economy.
