COLLEGE & UNIVERSITY CREDIT ELIGIBLE PROGRAMS

ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) COURSES

Advanced Placement courses are offered in mathematics, science,
English, fine arts, and social studies. Advanced Placement courses
are college level courses for academically capable students, taken
on the Father Lopez Catholic High School campus. At the end of
each course, students may sit for an exam written by the College
Board. College credit or placement may be awarded at the discretion
of the college or university a student attends. Students must have
an 'A' average in a subject, score in the top stanine on a
standardized exam, and receive instructor permission to register for
an AP course. All students must take the instructor's final exam for
the course.

DUAL ENROLLMENT (DE) COURSES

Father Lopez students in 11th through 12th grades may choose to earn
college credit while attending high school through our Dual Enrollment
agreement with Daytona State College. College courses are offered at
no additional tuition cost. Fees for the program include textbooks
and some testing fees (see below). Dual Enrollment courses are college
courses for academically capable students, taught by qualified Father
Lopez Catholic High School faculty members on the Father Lopez campus.
Students participating in DE courses are expected to do college-level
work and will be held to college standards for grading. All grades
earned in Dual Enrollment classes are recorded on an official Daytona
State College transcript. All credits earned may be transferred at the
discretion of the college or university a student attends. Once
enrolled in the Dual Enrollment program, students may also choose to
take Daytona State College evening, weekend, and summer courses free of
charge.

DUAL ENROLLMENT CONSIDERATIONS

Since Dual Enrollment courses will remain on a student's permanent
college transcript, it is very important to consider whether a student
is academically capable of college work while in high school. Even when
capable, students should carefully consider whether they have the time to
dedicate to college studies. Transfer of credits to Florida institutions
is at the discretion of each individual college or university. Students
and parents should contact post-secondary institutions to which their
children may apply for information regarding DE credits.

ELIGIBILITY FOR DUAL ENROLLMENT

Students must have a minimum 3.0 un-weighted cumulative G.P.A. and passing
scores from any one of the following tests to gain admission:
• SAT: 440 Reading, 440 Math
• ACT: 18 Reading, 17 Writing, 19 Math
• CPT (College Placement Test): 83 Reading, 83 Writing, 72 Elementary Algebra

The CPT should be taken at the end of the student's sophomore year in order
to begin Dual Enrollment classes in the fall.

Foreign language students
are required to take the Assessment of Prior Learning Experience at Daytona
State College.

In the spring, the Assistant Principal for Instruction will
hold an informational meeting with students who register for Dual Enrollment
courses.
