About
Advanced Placement (AP) courses are options for students who want to enrich and challenge themselves in particular subjects by working on university-level material while still in high school. Students can earn university credit and must be committed to thinking and working at a high level. Students can choose a single AP course or a combination of AP courses that suit them, provided they have the prerequisites.
Students who want to challenge any AP course not offered at their school must independently prepare for the AP College Board exam and notify Evan Hardy Collegiate's Student Services office before November 15 of the academic year they want to challenge the exam. For a list of AP courses to challenge, visit the AP College Board
website.
Obtaining University Credit
Many Canadian universities grant credit to students earning a score of four or five in AP courses. Most American universities give credit for scores of three, four or five. The student's score is based entirely on either a standardized exam written in May or a portfolio (e.g., Art and Design, Studio Art) submitted in May. This university credit is for a first-year class, which saves students tuition and gives them more flexibility in their timetables.
