Advanced Placement Courses
 Indiana University High School offers online advanced placement (AP) courses in English, social studies, and calculus. The courses are
written and taught by licensed, certified teachers, and they are
approved by the College Board.
AP courses are designed to
- give you a head start on college-level work.
- sharpen your writing and analytical skills.
- make you stand out in the college admissions process.
- allow you to study subjects in greater depth and detail.
The courses are available in a self-paced online format (12 months), as well as a semester-based online format (four months). Students are invited to select the format that best suits their needs.
Self-Paced Format The self-paced online format may be most appealing to students who want the challenge of AP courses but who who prefer additional time to complete their course work.
- You may register for the self-paced versions of AP courses at any time of the year.
- If you have not taken an IUHS course before, call 800.334.1011 (toll free) or 812.855.2292 to register.
- If you have previously taken IUHS courses, you can register for the self-paced AP courses online using Dragon (https://dragon.iu.edu).
Semester-Based Format
The semester-based format is recommended, but not required, for students planning to take the May 2010 national AP exams. If you do plan to take the national exams, you
- are encouraged to take both semesters of a two-semester course.
- have four months to complete your course work during each semester.
- take your midterm and final exams during designated weeks.
- are expected to work at a steady pace in between exams.
- complete your spring semester of course work in plenty of time to take the College Board's May exams.
Registrations for the fall 2009 and spring 2010 semester-based courses will run from July 1, 2009, to August 14, 2009. Registrations for spring 2010 will be taken in early December, as well. To register for a semester-based AP course, call 800.334.1011 or 812.855.2292.
