AP and Dual Enrollment for Students

A determined student can reasonably earn in excess of 1-12 college credits through the Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment programs. In fact, more than half of the Class of 2008 took advantage of the program and earned a total of 146 college credits last year.

As with any transfer of credits, students should always check with the college they plan on attending before dual enrolling. For more information, visit the BG Guidance Department.
