AP/College Concurrent Courses:

Ouray High School continues to make every effort to expand the Advanced Placement and Post-Secondary Options college course offerings. Students enrolling in AP courses need to be aware of the demanding course requirements. A score of 3, 4 or 5 on the final AP tests may qualify for college credit (depending on the university’s standards). Students are responsible for 100% of the cost of the test which must be paid prior to ordering the exam. Students enrolled in college classes must meet the requirements set forth by the participating college.
