Preparing for College and Career

Advanced Placement Courses/ Cursos Avanzados

Advanced Placement

AP Classes

Colleges take into consideration students who have participated in rigorous academic programs. Honors courses, AP courses, community college, or advanced courses such as a 4th year of math or 3rd year of Language Other Than English (LOTE) on a transcript to indicate that the student is likely to succeed in college. Admissions officers will use the school profile to determine how many advanced courses a high school offers and to what extent a student took advantage of those classes. AP Exams are administered in May and are scored on a scale of 1 (low) to 5 (high), with a score of 3 considered passing. Please note that not all colleges provide course credit with an AP score of 3 or higher.

Benefits to students

Students may possibly earn credit (AP Central), advance placement, or both, in college.
Admissions officials know that an academically impressive high school transcript is a good indicator of college success.
AP courses prepare students for the rigor of college.
Classes add an additional point to GPA (ex. an “A” in a regular class equals 4 points but an A in an AP class earns 5 points towards their GPA).

* Students do not have to take an AP course to take an AP exam.

University Admission Requirements/ Requisitos Universitarios

CSU and UC Admission Requirements

To be eligible for a California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC), you must meet the A-G requirements. A-G refers to the seven academic subject areas that high school students are required to pass with a grade of “C” or better to be eligible for UC and CSU admission. By meeting the A-G requirements, you will also be eligible for most private colleges, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI), and out-of-state colleges. You must earn a grade of “C” or better in A-G courses to be eligible. See your counselor for credit recovery opportunities.
