Stand Out in College Admissions
- By making the decision to take an AP course, you’re letting colleges and universities know that you have what it takes to succeed in an undergraduate environment. AP courses signal to admissions officers that you’ve undertaken the most rigorous classes your high school has to offer. They see that you’ve challenged yourself with college-level course work and expectations, and have refined your skills to meet these expectations. In the increasingly competitive admissions process, this knowledge can be very valuable.
- Importantly, AP courses offer admissions officers a consistent measure of course rigor across high schools, districts, states and countries — because all AP teachers, no matter where they’re teaching, have to provide a curriculum that meets college standards. So when admissions officers see “AP” on your transcript, they have a good understanding of what you experienced in a particular class and how well it prepared you for the increased challenges of college.
Earn College Credits
As college costs grow each year, the prospect of continuing education becomes less and less of a reality for many high school students. By taking an AP course and scoring successfully on the related AP Exam, you can save on college expenses. Currently more than 90 percent of colleges and universities
across the country offer college credit, advanced placement, or both, for qualifying AP Exam scores. These credits can potentially save students and their families thousands of dollars in college tuition, fees and textbook costs, which can transform what once seemed unaffordable into something within reach.
Skip Introductory Classes
If you know what you want to major in at college, taking an AP course related to that major and earning a qualifying score on the AP exam can help you gain advanced placement out of introductory courses. This means that you can possibly place out of crowded required courses, and move directly into upper-level classes where you can focus on work that interests you most. Even if you take an AP exam unrelated to your major — or if you’re not sure what you want to major in — AP courses can often help you place out of your colleges’ general education requirements. With this additional time on your class schedule, you can pursue a second major or minor, take exciting electives or follow additional interests in new ways.
What is an AP Score and What Does it Mean?
Your AP score shows how well you did on the AP Exam. It's also a measure of your achievement in your college-level AP course. This score will be used by colleges and universities to determine if they will grant you credit for what you've already learned, or allow you to skip the equivalent course once you get to college (this is known as advanced placement).
Your score is a weighted combination of your scores on the multiple-choice section and on the free-response section. The final score is reported on a 5-point scale as follows:
5 = extremely well qualified
4 = well qualified
3 = qualified
2 = possibly qualified
1 = no recommendation
"Qualified" means that you have proven yourself capable of doing the work of an introductory-level course in a particular subject at college. Many colleges and universities grant credit and placement for scores of 3, 4 or 5; however, each college decides which scores it will accept. To see college policies for AP scores, visit our AP Credit Policy Search. In order to be considered for credit or placement, you must send your official AP score report to the
college you're planning to attend.

Concurrent Enrollment Information
- Concurrent Enrollment provides an option for prepared high school students to take courses that earn both high school & college credit.
- CE courses are college courses. College courses require rigorous academic work. Course content may include controversial cultural, religious, political, aesthetic and human sexuality issues. Students must have the maturity to engage with the material in an academically appropriate manner and the time management skills to complete more work and meet deadlines. Students must also meet all college/university prerequisite requirements before enrolling in a CE course.
- The CE program is open to high school juniors and seniors.
- Students may attempt up to 30 CE credits per year and may not repeat a CE course.
- CE course registrations and grades are recorded on permanent college transcripts.
- Withdrawing from or failing a CE course may impact a student’s ability to receive financial aid in the future as well as a student’s ability to enroll in additional CE courses.
- The student is responsible for completing the admission and enrollment process, paying applicable admission fees and tuition.
- If a student withdraws from a course at SHS, they must also withdraw from the course at the college. Failure to do so will result in a failing grade on the college transcript.
- CE credit earned shall be transferable from one USHE institution to another.
- CE students must abide by the college/university Student Code of Conduct in addition to the Stansbury High School code of conduct.
- Students must contact the college or university CE administrator to request any accommodations that may be required under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
- Under FERPA, an institution may disclose to parents information from the education records of a student who is “dependent” under the Federal tax laws without the student’s consent. The education records shared are limited to the courses a student is enrolled in and tuition and/or fees owing for the courses.
Concurrent Enrollment Frequently Asked Questions
Concurrent Enrollment (CE) classes are college courses that can be taken during high school to
earn both high school AND college credit. Here are some of our most frequently asked questions
What are the CE eligibility requirements?
- Overall, students must be juniors or seniors and have a 3.0 cumulative GPA (2.5 for CTE courses).
- Some classes have additional pre-requisites, which can be found on the Concurrent Enrollment page of our counseling website. Students must have received a C or higher in any prior CE course.
If the CE class is in my SHS schedule, is there anything else I need to do?
- Yes. You also need to apply and register with the college the course is offered through. Mrs. Cavey will send an email out to students shortly before each CE class starts with specific instructions.
How do I know which CE math class I should take?
- It largely depends on what you want to do for a career path. Guides can be found on the Concurrent Enrollment page of our website, but the best way to know for sure is to look for a list of majors on the website of a college you're interested in attending. You'll be able to find the exact math class(es) you'll need for specific majors. NOTE: In some cases there are time limits on how long the earned credit will last. If too much time has elapsed, the college may require you to retake the class. Check with individual colleges for their specific policies regarding this.
Can I get high school credit from a CE class taken at ANY college?
- No. In order to receive credit at SHS, it must be a course that has been approved from one of our contracted colleges. If it is not a class offering through your SHS schedule, always check with Mrs.Cavey first to ensure it will count if you are hoping to earn high school credit from it.
Can I earn an Associates Degree in high school by taking CE courses?
- Yes, but SHS alone does not offer enough CE classes for you to earn an Associates Degree, so be advised you'll have to take several additional CE classes outside of your SHS schedule.
Still have questions? Contact our Concurrent Enrollment Specialist, Mrs. Cavey, at kcavey@tooeleschools.org
or visit our website: https://stansburyhigh.tooeleschools.org/ > Counseling > Concurrent Enrollment.

Paying for College
College can be expensive!
Luckily, there are a number of options to help ease the financial burden:
Scholarships: Scholarships are financial awards based on merit. Different awards require different criteria. Visit our scholarship page for current scholarship opportunities and to access the scholarship websites for Utah colleges.
Grants: Grants are given by the government and do not need to be repaid. Grants are based on financial need. You must submit your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) in order to receive grants. If you're curious about whether or not you will qualify, try the FAFSA4caster. Click on the links on this page for FAFSA tutorials.
GI Bill: If your parent served in the military, you may be eligible for financial assistance through the GI Bill.
Loans: Low interest student loans are available through the government based on FAFSA. Student loans must be repaid.
Work Study: Work Study is the 3rd financial assistance option determined by FAFSA. Qualified students will receive the opportunity to work on-campus to help off-set the cost of attendance. Eligibility for work study does not guarantee a job, as all employment opportunities vary.
The College Financial Aid Office can be a valuable resource:
Some employers are willing to help offset the cost of college through tuition reimbursement.

Those nominees who don't receive academic all-state will receive academic all-region.
Objective: To reward students who are particularly successful in one area, who may wish to better prepare for a career, or who may need some extra incentive to use their senior year to its full advantage.
Upon graduation, those students who have earned enrichment in a particular area will be recognized with a cord worn at graduation (a white cord for one enrichment or a royal blue cord for two or more.)
