AP Exam Policy Students enrolled in AP Courses are required to take the AP Exam for that class. The exam fee appears on the family’s account in December. Refunds for the exams will not be issued if the student does not show up for the exam or drops the class during the second semester. The data from these exams is valuable to the school, and passing scores on the AP exam give students the opportunity to earn college credit.

Recommendation Policy All Honors and AP courses require recommendations. Students may waive into an Honors or AP course under four conditions if they were not recommended: 1. There must be room in the course. 2. The student must have completed the prerequisite course(s) with a final grade of no less than an 84%. If the prerequisite course is an honors course and the student took the CP level, then they must have at least a 90% to waive in. 3. If the course has a co-requisite, the student must also be eligible and registered for that course. 4. The waiver must be completed and returned on time.
