WHS Dual-Enrollment and AP Parent Night February 28, 2017

Advanced Placement Courses From the College Board: “Deciding to take an AP course lets colleges and universities know that you have what it takes to succeed in an undergraduate environment. When admissions officers see ‘A’ on your transcript, they know that what you experienced in a particular class has prepared you well for the challenges of college. Taking AP is a sign that you’re up for the most rigorous classes your high school has to offer.” The Benefits: Nationally-standardized, universally-recognized quality instruction Guaranteed, transferable college credit with passing score

Dual-Enrollment at TCC What is dual-enrollment? Dual-enrollment represents a partnership between Wakulla High School and Tallahassee Community College in which students can receive simultaneous high school credit toward graduation AND college-level credit towards a future degree, such as an A.A. degree. The curriculum (what the class actually covers) is set by the college but is open to eligible high school students who either take classes at their high school, on the college’s campus, or online.
