Many area high schools offer AP or honors courses to their students giving them the opportunity to complete college-level work while attending high school. AP exams can be taken by high school students taking Advanced Placement courses. A minimum AP exam score of 3 is required for credit at Virginia Western. An official copy of the AP transcript must be submitted to the Virginia Western Records Office in order to obtain credit. Unofficial student copies or high school transcripts noting the AP credit will not be accepted for credit. It is your responsibility to determine scores necessary to transfer to 4-year colleges or universities.
