AS A STUDENT ELECTING TO PARTICIPATE IN ADVANCED PLACEMENT/CAMBRIDGE COURSEWORK, I AGREE AND UNDERSTAND:
CCHS Advanced Coursework Overview:
CCHS offers Advanced Placement (AP) and AICE Cambridge courses that match the rigor of college-level classes. These courses require significant effort, time, and commitment, and are recommended for highly motivated students. All students enrolled in AP/AICE Cambridge courses must take the corresponding national exams in May. College credit may be awarded for passing scores; students should research each college’s policy.
Course Changes:
Last day to drop/add AP or Cambridge courses: March 6, 2026.
All requests must be submitted to your school counselor by this date or changes will not be made and the course will remain on the student's schedule.
Parent/Teacher/Student Roles:
AP and AICE Cambridge courses expect students to take responsibility for their learning. Parents may contact teachers with concerns, but students are encouraged to advocate for themselves to build independence and college-readiness.
Schedule Changes After School Begins:
Students must remain enrolled for at least:
One quarter in year long courses
Four weeks in semester courses
If a student struggles:
Parent, teacher, and student meet with the school counselor to review progress and create an improvement plan. No schedule changes will occur without this step.
Summer/Winter Assignments:
Some AP and AICE Cambridge courses require mandatory assignments over summer or winter break, typically due on the first day of class each semester. Students should contact the course teacher for assignment details.
Honor Code:
Students must complete their own work unless collaboration is permitted by the teacher. Sharing or copying work is prohibited. All submitted work must be original. Unauthorized use of AI will result in academic consequences, including failing grades or disciplinary action.
Exams:
Students enrolled in AP and/or AICE Cambridge courses are expected to take the associated national exam in May. Students who do not take the exam must reimburse CCHS $94 per exam.
Agreement:
By signing, students and parents acknowledge:
AP and AICE Cambridge courses require extensive, time‑consuming work.
The student is committed to completing the course and developing necessary study skills.
The decision to enroll has been made with careful consideration.
Any student who chooses not to pursue the course after registering must notify the school counselor by March 6, 2026; after this date, the course will remain on the schedule.
