Many students who earn AP/IB credit in a foundational area (calculus, physics, etc.) still choose to enroll in that course at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ in order to achieve a more solid background in the subject area. We encourage you to consider this option if you don’t feel entirely comfortable with the subject matter and are concerned about your ability to do well in subsequent courses that build uponÌýthe material. The course you enroll in at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ will replace the AP/IB credit if you choose this option.
