| Advanced Placement Program
The Advanced Placement (AP) Program is a cooperative educational endeavor sponsored by the College Board. Based on the fact that many young people can complete college-level studies in their secondary schools, it represents a desire of schools and colleges to foster such experiences. Like other programs of the College Board, this program is national; its policies are determined by representatives of member institutions and its operational services are provided by the Educational Testing Service. Advanced Placement serves three groups: students who wish to pursue college-level studies while still in secondary school, schools that desire to offer these opportunities, and colleges that wish to encourage and recognize such achievement. Participating colleges grant credit and appropriate placement to students who have done well on the examination. Although the program provides a curricular guide and examination in each field, all colleges do not follow the same or even similar procedures upon receipt of AP Examination grades. Many colleges grant credit and placement automatically for qualifying work on the examinations; some grant either placement or credit only; others are still establishing their policies. AP Guidelines:
An AP course is a college level course in which active and sustained participation in class discussions and/or monitored project work is essential. The requirement for attendance in an AP class is the same as that of a college course. Therefore, a student who misses more than three (3) classes in any quarter may be dropped from the class at the discretion of the teacher and/or administrator.
If you have any questions about the AP Program you should contact the high school counseling office. The District currently offers 6 AP Courses: Dual Credit / New Visions Program The Dual Credit Program is a cooperative educational endeavor presently between Wheatland-Chili High School, Monroe Community College (MCC), Genesee Community College (GCC), and Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). There are numerous courses offered between these colleges and the art, business, language, social studies, and technology departments at the high school. Dual Credit option grants college credit that will appear on a college transcript. The teachers advise the students of this opportunity and provide applications. The college credit earned can be transferred to other colleges that accept transfer credit. Students need to discuss this option with their teacher, NOT the Counseling Office. The New Visions Program (see pages 34 for a description) and five of the WEMOCO programs (see page 35) also offers dual credit courses to students. This offers students the opportunity to concurrently earn college and high school credit. In order to receive the college credit students are required to pay a reduced course fee. The following courses are offered for dual credit: Art: MCC/GCC Credits Studio in Photography PHO 101 – Photography I 3 Business: MCC/GCC Accounting ACC 101 – Accounting Principles I 4 Business Law BUS 201 – Business Law I 3 Business Management BUS 104 – Introduction to Business 3 Career and Financial Management ECO 103 – Personal Money Management 3 Computer Applications CIS 121 – Microsoft Office 4 Entrepreneurship & Marketing BUS 110 – Entrepreneurial Studies I 3
