The Advanced Placement (AP) Program offers college-level courses and exams students can take in high school. Qualifying Scores can earn a student college credit. To get a more accurate idea of the credit you can earn, search directly on the college site’s AP policy. RISD follows College Board’s Equity and Access Policy Statement to make equitable access a guiding principle for our AP Programs. We allow for all students who are willing to take the challenge of an AP course to do so. We believe all students should have access to rigorous coursework that will allow them to prepare for college and therefore strive to remove barriers that would prevent students from taking such courses. RISD requires all AP teachers to take the AP Summer Institute training every three years to teach the course.
RISD will pay for RISD students to take the AP exam in a course in which they are enrolled. Students who fail to come to an exam are subject to a $40 unused/canceled exam fee.
Homeschooled and private school students may take an AP exam with RISD if they pay the exam fees. Homeschooled and private school students are subject to a $40 unused/canceled exam fee if they fail to report for the test. Please contact Dr. Laura Lucero-Carrillo, (575) 627-2594, or your neighborhood high school for more information.

What is AP?
Why should I take AP exams?
AP Equity Statement: All students who are willing and academically prepared to accept the challenge of a rigorous academic curriculum should be considered for admission to AP courses.
College Board encourages the elimination of barriers that restrict access to AP courses for students from ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in the AP Program. Schools should make every effort to ensure that their AP classes reflect the diversity of their student population.
