Why should a student take the AP Exam?
Colleges and universities give credit for qualifying AP Exam grades, not AP course grades.
“The confirmation that college-level learning took place is in the published results. The AP Exam grade is a national standard that I can understand and rely upon.”
—Joellen L. Silberman, Dean of Enrollment
Kalamazoo College

Dual Enrollment &

Achievement – AP and AICE provide you the opportunity to earn credit or advanced placement for college and](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030412/5a9e319e7f8b9a21488d0ced/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
What is Dual Enrollment?
The enrollment of students in college classes while still in high
school at the same time earning both college and high school
credit.
Students can get one period off for each dual enrollment class
that he/she takes (one to two classes per semester).
Dual enrollment classes are offered at all PBSC campuses and
at area high schools- Seminole Ridge, Royal Palm, or
Wellington.
Dual enrollment classes are also offered at Florida Atlantic
University (see your school counselor for more information).
![Page 29: Advanced Placement - · PDF fileWhat can AP or AICE classes do for you?

Advantages of Dual Enrollment
Free college classes
Free use of textbooks
Opportunity to take classes beyond what is offered at Seminole Ridge
Opportunity to graduate high school with college credit
You can take a traditional core academic class or a PSAV (Post-Secondary Adult Vocational) class in the school-to-work programs. The PSAV programs are very limited for dual enrollment (see your school counselor for details).

Cautions with Dual Enrollment
These college classes start your college GPA!!!! You must be committed to getting good grades. No D’s or F’s.
Poor grades may result in denial of acceptance into a college or university and can effect your financial aid opportunities.
You cannot miss class!!!! A conflict with a game or rehearsal or practice is NOT an excuse to miss class. If you participate in high school activities, you may need to make a choice between high school activities and your college class. You must make the commitment to attend class.
