ADVANCED PLACEMENT
Students who request and have demonstrated proficiency in their core classes may request to take available AP courses with teacher and administration approval. Those taking AP courses will be responsible for the AP surcharge. Students who earn a B or better in the appropriate AP course will be registered for the appropriate AP test. The cost of the test will be covered by Divine Savior Academy. Students who do not earn at least a B will not be registered for the test or have it paid by Divine Savior Academy. Students who drop an AP course after the first two weeks of a marking period will have their course appear on the permanent transcript. The course will be listed as withdrawal passing (WP) or withdrawal failing (WF). Please note that AP courses are awarded a 1.0 grade point average boost, while honors’ courses receive a 0.5 grade point average boost.
The AP Program recognizes high school students who have demonstrated outstanding college-level achievement through AP courses and exams with the AP Scholar Awards. Although there is no monetary award, each award-winning student receives a certificate, and the award is acknowledged on any AP score report that is sent to colleges after the award has been conferred.
