registration process will be completed

entirely online, and there will be no

late registration or refunds. You

should have received an informational

parent letter from your AP teacher. If

you did not, please ask your AP

teacher for a copy. LISD does pay for

several core subject exams, but not all

of them. The cost of AP exams is $94,

or $15 if you are approved for

free/reduced lunch. (The AP Seminar

exam is $142). If you are unsure about

your free/reduced lunch status, or

have further AP exam registration

questions, please contact Melissa

Grimes at

Seniors, if you enlist in the armed forces, please bring a copy of your enlistment

paperwork to the counseling office.

Likewise, if you receive a scholarship offer, bring documentation of that offer to

your counselor. We would like documentation of ALL offers, even those that you

do not plan to accept.

South Plains College has several courses available for dual credit this

summer. These courses are online and include

US Government and Economics, (unweighted).

Please see your counselor for more information

regarding registration requirements.

Summer is fast approaching! Students, if you need a letter

of recommendation for camps or internships, remember to

give your teacher/counselor plenty of notice, (minimum of

two weeks). Use the Gold Packet to start that process:

Please note that teachers/counselors do not write letters

over school holidays. Ensure that your two week window

allows time for such breaks.

College Admission Tip:

Your high school counselor

specializes in knowing the ins & outs

of high school graduation

requirements & general college

admission advice. Did you know that

most colleges and universities have their own

admission counselors?

These counselors, often called admission advisors, are

incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to their

school’s specific admission requirements, procedures,

etc. You can locate your prospective college’s

advisor via their website.

Denied Admittance to Texas Tech?

If you were denied admittance to Texas Tech, you might consider researching the Tech Transfer Acceleration Program, or TTAP. This program allows eligible applicants to attend classes at TTU the Fall of their freshman year, but their classes are taught by SPC professors. Students must maintain a 2.5 GPA for the semester, and meet a few additional requirements. If all of these requirements are met, the student is then eligible to transfer into TTU for the Spring of their freshman year. You can find more information about that program here:
