Richland College is getting stricter with their criteria and have concerns with both the behavior and academic performance of students who are not college ready in high school.

Yes. This is a requirement from the community colleges. A student who does not pass TSI is not eligible to take college classes.

A dual credit class will count toward both your high school and college credits. You must pass the class with a 70 or above to receive college credit.

An AP class will get you high school credit using the highest GPA scale but you will only get college credit if you pass the AP exam in May. AP exams are on set dates and times.

Yes. On-Track and Dual-Credit students can still take AP classes but can only take 1 AP class per year and won’t graduate with the Advanced with AP diploma.

No.

You bump down to the On-Track program. An On-Track student that doesn’t maintain the criteria will not be permitted to graduate to the next level.

AP has set an exam fee that all AP students must pay per exam. BHA will collect the fees and send it to AP.

It depends on which track you are in. Dual Credit students are required to take classes in the summer. The other tracks are optional.

Since we need your entire year’s information for demerit points and overall average, students will not officially know which programs they qualify for until mid-summer.

Ms. Karam Skaik is your counselor for 10th grade. Ms. Mehnaz Kafray will be your counselor for 11th and 12th grade.
