Advanced Placement (AP)
and Dual Credit at OHS
Check out the OHS AP and Dual Credit Website for complete information on applications, course offerings, deadlines, and to download the necessary forms for Dual Credit.
What is Dual Credit?
Through a partnership with Northwest Vista, O'Connor High School offers a variety of college level coursework including Medical Terminology, English Literature, Criminal Justice, and many more. Students are co-enrolled and thus can earn college credit by making a "B" or better in the course!
You should know that some colleges will not count dual credit course grades toward a college level GPA, but they will satisfy degree requirements and prerequisites as long as the courses are transferable to the university. Students can verify if a course will transfer by contacting the university. However, some schools will calculate the grade into your GPA if you are applying as a transfer student.
Students must apply to take Dual Credit coursework! They must also take the TSI exam. More information is available through the OHS AP and Dual Credit Website. For additional information on dual credit you can contact the Academic Dean Jennifer Bishop ([email protected])

What is Advanced Placement? (AP)
Students are recommended by their current teachers for AP courses in the following year. Students take rigorous coursework, and are then eligible to take an AP exam in the Spring to earn college credit. Talk to your teachers and counselors to see if AP is a good idea, or check out the AP Website!

Already have your scores?
If you earn an AP Exam score of 3 or higher, chances are you can receive credit, advanced placement or both from your college — most colleges and universities in the United States and institutions in more than 60 other countries grant credit and placement for AP scores or acknowledge AP scores in the admission process.
College credit and/or advanced placement can be a big reward for all the hard work you put into your AP courses and exams. Also, when you enter college with credit you've already earned through AP, you can save time and money. With a head start on your degree, you may have the flexibility to move into upper-level courses sooner, pursue a double major or study abroad.
