Dual enrollment programs offer students the opportunity to enroll in a course that will earn both high school and college credit at the same time.Dual enrollment is a cost efficient route to a post-secondary diploma.In preparing for college, cost is always a factor. Students have the option of completing course work at a fraction of the cost of any college or university.To sign up for these classes or to receive additional information, please contact the Guidance Office at (315) 536-4420.
The Advanced Placement program offered through Penn Yan Academy in cooperation with the College Board is designed for students capable of doing college level work and who will devote the energy necessary to complete the more rigorous and demanding requirements.An AP exam is offered each year in May and could provide students with college credit from many colleges and universities.On a scale of 1 to 5, a student must usually earn a score of at least 3 or 4 in order to receive credit from a college or university.Each college or university decides the score a student must earn for credit.There is a fee assessed each year by the College Board to take the exam payable by the student.The cost of the 2010-2011 exam is $87.Fee waivers are available for eligible students. There may also be pre-requisite courses that must be taken before enrollment in an AP class and some require summer assignments be completed before the class begins.Check the PYA Course Offerings Handbook for information.

Students enrolled in Tech Prep may earn college credit through articulation agreements with FLCC if they chose to attend FLCC.An articulation agreement is a series of courses meeting college level standards, and therefore allows students to earn collegecredits.Students complete this work while they are enrolled and attending courses at their high school.Participation in the Tech Prep program is free of charge.Students only earn the credit if they choose to enroll at FLCC. In addition to Math , Science and English requirements, students need to earn an 80% or better in the PYA class to be awarded the credit when they enroll in FLCC.See your counselor or the website for specific program requirements.
