Advanced Placement Courses

 

 

 

The Advanced Placement Program provides highly motivated high school students with the opportunity to take college-level courses in a high school setting.  Students not only gain college-level skills, but in some cases may also earn college credit, dependent on their AP test score and the college attended. Hill Regional Career’s college-level (curriculum and expectations) Advanced Placement courses are open and available only to qualified, teacher-recommended students in grades 10, 11, and 12.  AP examinations, given nationally in May at a time and date specified by the College Board, will be taken by all registered students.

 

 

1.       Student motivation, student performance, teacher recommendation and CAPT scores are considered for student placement into an AP course.  In addition, these placements must be screened and are subject to final approval by Guidance and Administration.

 

2.       Parental consent/signature is necessary for placement in each AP course, along with acknowledgement that students will take the AP Exam in May at HRCHS on a day/time nationally specified by College Board.

 

3.       Students and parents will sign an “AP Student Contract” for each AP class at the start of that course.  Please note: Students not completing the required “AP Student Contract” at the start of the course will be dropped from the course. 

 

4.       The New Haven Public School District, in conjunction with the Connecticut State Department of Education, pays for Advanced Placement Examination Fees.  However, it should be noted that registered AP students not taking the AP Examination/s will incur an obligation current with the testing costs of that year.  This cost will be filed as a financial obligation, and must be fulfilled prior to release of grades, transcripts, schedules, or diplomas.   

 

5.       Students earn the highest level of quality points for grades earned in all AP courses.
