Definitions:
Dual Enrollment: Classes where students will earn high school credit as well as college credit. The college credit is earned through Rio Salado Community College and will require tuition. Any student that earns a C or better will earn college credit for the course. Most of these courses are not considered Honors and do not get a weighted point in the GPA with some notable exceptions (CHM130, SPA101/102, SPA201/202, MAT187). Students attending a different college or university after they graduate will need to make sure they send an official Rio Salado Community College transcript to their college or choice in addition to their high school transcript. To see how any community college course will transfer to the three state universities, see the AZ Transfer website (Tools, Course Equivalency). List of O'Connor's Dual Enrollment Classes. For more information (including contact info/registration help at Rio Salado), please visit their website: https://www.riosalado.edu/start-rio/early-college/dual-enrollment
Advanced Placement (AP): Classes that follow the College Board's AP content/curriculum. For more information about AP, please see the College Board's website: What is AP?. AP Classes do earn an honors point in the GPA for an A, B, or C and will improve a student's weighted GPA. Students may earn college credit for certain scores on optional AP exams. AP exams currently cost $102.00/exam. Please see the College Board's page to research each college's Credit for Exam Policy
*For any class that is offered as a dual enrollment class, the code will usually reflect a CO at the end, or include three letters and three numbers in the course title (for example CHM130), or both.
