College credit options for MTHS student:

• (CHS) College in the High School
• (AP) Advanced Placement
• Running Start

To receive college credit for classes taken while in high school, students must obtain transcripts directly from the college where they completed those courses. Here’s why:

1. Official Recognition: College transcripts are official documents issued by the college, confirming that students have successfully completed specific courses and earned college credits.
2. Accurate Credit Transfer: Only the college can verify the courses, grades, and credits awarded. This official record ensures that students receive the correct amount of credit when applying to colleges or universities.
3. Essential for Applications: When applying to colleges, students often need to submit their college transcripts as part of their academic record. High school transcripts do not include college-level courses and therefore do not suffice for college credit.
4. Validation of Rigor: College transcripts provide evidence that the courses met college standards, which is important for future institutions to recognize and accept the credits.

How do I get College Credit from an AP class?

To get College Credit from an AP class, you must enroll in an approved AP class and then take the corresponding AP test. Exams are scored from 1 to 5, with 1 being the lowest score and 5 being the highest.  Most colleges that accept AP scores will give you credit for 4s and 5s, though some colleges may honor 3s. Public institutions tend to be more flexible in accepting AP credits versus private institutions.

To get college credit or placement for your AP scores, you have to request that College Board sends an official AP score report to the college.

Other important facts:

• You can send your scores for free to one recipient every year that you take AP Exams. Make sure to take advantage of your free score send before the yearly June 20 deadline.
• You can send scores online anytime for a fee.
• You can order as many score reports as you need online after scores are released.
• Score reports include both this year's and past AP Exam scores.
• Your score report includes all your scores from all the AP Exams you took in the past. Your entire score history will be sent to your designated college, university, or scholarship program unless you choose to withhold or cancel any of your scores.
• You should check college deadlines.
• If you’re a senior entering college in the fall, check your college’s deadline for getting AP scores. We encourage you to send scores as soon as possible to make sure they’re received in time.
• You can look up past AP Exam dates.
• You can look up exam dates for the past five years if you need to know when you took an AP Exam.

Ensure you actually earned college credit for CTE Dual Credit.

You can always check the system for the status of credit progress by logging into the Student Enrollment Reporting Systems (SERS) website, . Typically, colleges will begin the transcription process during the summer concluding your academic year in high school with a college transcript completed by September 1. If you've met the eligibility criteria and are on schedule to earn CTE Dual Credit, you can expect some type of congratulatory correspondence by late summer with an unofficial copy of your transcript enclosed.

If you have not received information from the college, you should reach out to them directly to inquire about your college credit.
