[Counselors] FW: AP Program

[OSRHEStudent Prep PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board]

Our concurrent numbers are increasing, too. From my viewpoint,  I feel students are moving in this direction due to the variables offered in a COVID-stymied world.  With free tuition, it is also a way to decrease future borrowing.  Our Community College has developed 4 pathways for high school students to choose from on their dual credit journey.  Savvy students know that they can get a full credit in a single semester without registering and paying for annual AP test fees for many tests.  Students can leave high school with a year of college credit and complete an Associate Degree the year after graduation, or matriculate to university as a sophomore.  That essentially cuts out 25% of the cost of a degree with dual credits.  If they stay another year at Community College, they can decrease the cost of a bachelor's degree by 50%.  This generation has heard all the negatives of borrowing and college debt - they are listening and exploring options.  They are increasingly choosing to complete their diploma with one foot on their HS campus and one foot on their future campus.

Absolutely! Our district is paying books and fees. Concurrent enrollment is free. Really free.

Has concurrent enrollment  impacted anyone's  AP programs? We are seeing a decline in enrollment for AP classes because more students are taking college classes. If anyone is having the same issue what are some strategies you are using to increase interest in AP classes?
