More Quick Tips
Advanced Placement courses are valuable additions to your student's transcript, BUT in order to list them on the transcript the course content must be pre-approved by the College Board. When choosing local or online AP courses, check to make sure that they are approved courses. (Note, however, that any student may take an AP Exam regardless of whether he or she has taken an AP course.)
