WHS ADVANCED PLACEMENT COURSES

What is Advanced Placement?
Advanced Placement (AP) Courses allow students to enroll in rigorous, college-level
courses while in high school. The potential for college credit is determined based on the
AP exam score (generally a score of 3 or higher earns college credit).

AP exams take place once each year over the course of two weeks in May. The college
credit that is awarded is specific to each institute of higher education and detailed
information for how the UW-System awards AP credit may be found here:
http://uwhelp.wisconsin.edu/testing/ap.aspx

For private colleges/universities in Wisconsin as well as out of state schools, it is best to
research the individual schools as the credits granted are specific to each respective
college/university.
