College Board Advanced Placement (AP) Choctawhatchee High School participates in the nationally recognized Advanced Placement Program of The College Board. High School AP courses provide college level instruction in several areas that help prepare students for the rigorous coursework encountered in college. After completing the courses, students may take the AP exam written, administered and graded by the College Board. Some colleges place students or award college credit based on these test scores. Choctawhatchee High School offers Advanced Placement courses in the following areas: English, Foreign Language, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies. Students enrolled in any Advanced Placement class will take the corresponding AP Exam in May. Because AP Courses are taught at a college level, excellent study habits and a strong foundation in the specific discipline are necessary for success. In order to register for an AP course, a student is required to have earned an A, B or C in the corresponding Pre-AP course with instructor/guidance counselor recommendation or an A or B in the designated regular class with instructor/guidance counselor recommendation. Students who register for AP courses must be committed to remain in the class for at least one semester. A student who is not experiencing success with the rigor of AP may request a transfer to a lower level corresponding class at the end of the first semester. However, any class change is contingent upon space availability. Questions about AP courses may be directed to the individual instructor or to Judy Kane, AP Coordinator, at extension 657.

Dual Enrollment Program Dual Enrollment is a statewide program for high school students to enroll free of charge in college courses to earn both college credit and credit toward high school graduation. The mission of dual enrollment is to shorten the time necessary for a student to complete the requirements of a high school diploma and a postsecondary degree, to broaden the scope of curricular options available to students and to increase the depth of study available for a particular subject. The Okaloosa County School District has an articulation agreement with Northwest Florida State College for college enrollment. State guidelines delineate courses that may be used in dual enrollment and eligibility criteria for student participation. Eligibility Requirements: Students must - - Have a cumulative WEIGHTED grade point average of 3.5, or the recommendation of the principal AND the approval of the college if the GPA is less than 3.5. - Be a high school junior or senior to attend college-level courses during school hours, after school hours or during the summer term. - Be a high school sophomore to participate in college-level courses after school hours or during the summer term. - Pass the appropriate subtest of a state-approved college placement test (ACT, SAT, FCPT) if enrolling in courses which require English, math or reading prerequisites. - Have parent permission. College credits earned through Dual Enrollment are the same as college credits earned by regular college students at any Florida university or community college and are readily transferable throughout the state. Students who plan to attend college outside of Florida should check with the university they plan to attend about transfers of college credits. Dual Enrollment Admission / Registration forms are available in the Guidance Office. 12
