The Advanced Placement (AP) Program is sponsored by the College Board in cooperation with secondary schools, college, and universities. Alta High School offers nineteen AP courses. These courses are for highly motivated high school students. The students participate in college-level courses while in high school with the opportunity of receiving college credit upon successfully passing a national exam in May. This can be a significant advantage to the student now with their increased academic background and also provide significant financial savings by not having to pay for those classes in college. Upon completion of the national exam, the student scores are sent to the college/university of their choice for credit.

Colleges determine whether AP courses count toward general education requirements or as electives.  Each college awards AP credit differently, so please check with the colleges you are interested in attending for their AP credit policy.

The College Board is able to grant fee reductions that reduce the cost per examination for students who demonstrate financial need.
 Students who believe they qualify for financial assistance should contact their counselor before March 1. ​
