Acceleration Options at MHS
(College Level Coursework)
Benefits and Disadvantages
ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) DUAL ENROLLMENT (DE)
+ The AP program is nationally recognized as
a college-level curriculum.
+ If a student is successful in the course,
college credit is granted.
+ A poor grade in an AP course only affects a
student’s high school record.
- Course credit is awarded by the Florida SUS
but not necessarily by other universities
nationwide.
- Each university decides how to award
college credit depending on a student’s AP
test score.
- If a student receives a W, D or F from SCF or
a W, C-, D or F from USF, the student will
not be able to take DE courses during the
next semester.
NOTE:
Summer assignments may be required for
some AP courses and must be completed by the
first day of school.
- If a student does poorly in a course, the
grade follows the student to college and
can negatively impact a student’s chances
of being admitted to college.
Please remember that when you start taking dual
enrollment courses, you are starting your college
transcript.
Grades can not be removed off your college
transcript.
Your college transcript CAN and MAY affect
admittance to other colleges/universities.
Students will need to provide their own
transportation to MTC, SCF or USF (off campus).
