College Credit Options
Half Day Programs: Butler Academies, WSU Tech JumpStart, Andover CAPS
*CAPS is not entirely dual credit. College credit is determined by the chosen program and arrangements made with the CAPS instructors.
Concurrent Credit: These meet at ACHS and the instructor is an ACHS staff member usually. We offer English Comp 1 and 2 (senior English), speech, college algebra, applied statistics, and government. If we offer a concurrent class in our building, students have to take it rather than a dual credit offering of the same course. (Exceptions are made for Butler Academy, WSU Tech, and CAPS students.)
Dual Credit: These meet on Butler's campus. Students are welcome to take classes that we do not offer here in our building.
Steps for Taking College Credit Classes
1. Students need college entrance scores. Students must able to attain these scores in order to continue on the dual or concurrent credit path.
ACT- 18 on English (or cumulative 3.25+ GPA) and/or 21 on Math
Accuplacer Test- Community college/vocational placement test.
2. If using ACT scores, students must complete college admissions application.
3. Visit with your counselor and fill out a High School Release Form.
