ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) & CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT

What Are AP Classes?

AP (Advanced Placement) classes are college-level courses you can take in high school. They move faster, go deeper, and help you practice what college classes are really like. Most end with an AP exam in May.

Why Take AP?

Students who take AP often:

Build strong thinking, reading, and writing skills
Learn how to manage time and handle deadlines
Show colleges they’re willing to challenge themselves
May earn college credit or placement

AP is about growth, not being perfect.

Is AP for You?

AP might be a good fit if you:

Are willing to put in steady effort
Can stay organized (or are learning how)
Ask for help when you need it
Want to push yourself academically

You don’t have to be a straight-A student. Motivation and support matter just as much.

What to Expect

In AP classes, expect:

More reading and homework
Independent learning
College-style writing and tests
Prep for a national exam in May

Teachers support you—but you take more responsibility.

AP Exams, College Credit, Cost & Fees

Exams are in May
Scores range from 1–5
Many colleges accept 3, 4, or 5
Fees apply (fee help is available—ask your counselor)
Each AP exam has a fee
Fee reductions are available for students who qualify
Taking the class without the exam is allowed, but colleges only consider exam scores for credit

If cost is a concern, talk to your school counselor early. We can help with:

Fee reduction options
Deadlines
Deciding whether taking the exam is the right choice

**Each college decides how AP credit works, so always check their website.

Support Is Here

You’re not doing this alone. Support includes:

Teacher help and office hours
School counselors
Academic check-ins

Feeling overwhelmed? Speak up early. We’ve got you.

What Is Concurrent Enrollment?

Concurrent Enrollment (CE) lets you take real college classes while you’re still in high school. These courses are taught at your school or online and count for both high school and college credit at the same time.

Why Take CE?

Students who choose CE often:

Earn college credit early
Save time and money in college
Experience real college coursework
Build confidence for life after high school

CE is a smart way to get a head start—without leaving your high school.

Is CE Right for You?

CE may be a good fit if you:

Can manage deadlines and stay organized
Are ready for more independence
Want guaranteed college credit
Prefer fewer high-pressure exams

You don’t have to be perfect. Consistency and responsibility matter most.

What to Expect

In CE classes, expect:

College-level assignments
Fewer tests, more projects and papers
Clear deadlines (with less flexibility)
Grades that become part of your college transcript

These grades count—now and later.

College Credit & Costs

Credits are awarded through a partner college
Most credits transfer within Utah
Tuition is low-cost
Textbooks or fees may apply

Always check how credits transfer to colleges outside Utah.

Support Is Available

Even though CE is a college class, you still have support:

Your high school teacher
School counselors
Academic planning help

If you’re struggling, talk to someone early.

Getting Started

To enroll in CE:

Review course options and prerequisites
Meet with your school counselor
Talk with your family about workload

CE is a great option for students who want to move forward—one college credit at a time.

Questions?
Your school counselor is here to help you decide what fits your goals and schedule best.

What If You Don’t Pass?

Concurrent Enrollment is a real college class, so grades matter.

If a student fails or withdraws from a CE course:

The grade stays on their college transcript
It may affect future financial aid or college GPA
The class may need to be retaken in college
Some schools may require the student to pay back tuition

This doesn’t mean CE is “too risky,” but it does mean students should:

Ask for help early
Stay on top of deadlines
Talk with their counselor if things feel overwhelming

Being informed helps you make confident choices.
