Students are simultaneously earning
college and high school credits
Classes are taught at VHS, by VHS
teachers, in VHS classes we offer
Teachers are credentialed through PNC,
Ivy Tech, or Vincennes
Students are enrolled as a student at the
corresponding university/college (not

Once a student is accepted, they complete the coursework for the class during the regular school year/semester
As long as the student earns at least a “C” in the course, the student is awarded credit through the corresponding university

Pros - Cost: At $25/credit for
Priority and a little more than $100/credit for Non-Priority
Opportunity: Most students qualify and offered in many areas of study
Acquisition: Students only need to achieve a “C” for the course
Cons - Transferability –
Completely relies on the receiving school
May count for an elective and not towards a major, check with the university
A rigorous course where the instructor
has had the course syllabus approved by
the College Board
Students take the course and at the end
of the course take the corresponding AP
exam
Courses meet national guidelines and AP
tests are administered through a
determined schedule
Students take the course and in May they
take the corresponding AP exam
In early July, students and schools are
notified of the students’ results
Generally, a score of 3, 4, or 5 results in
college credit being awarded, but check
with the receiving college/university
