Credit by Exam -- Examinations for credit are available to any student.  These examinations are very difficult and require a 90% when the student has had no previous instruction.  Only 5% of students taking a credit by examination will achieve a score high enough to gain credit.

High school credit may be given to students who take BCIS I, Spanish I, Agricultural Science, and Algebra I in the 8th grade.  Students must pass an end-of-course test and maintain an A average in the class to be granted high school credit while in the 8th grade.

Pre-AP and AP Courses:  Advanced Placement courses allow students to take courses at the high school while gaining experience in college-level curriculum.  Students who complete the AP high school course may apply for college credit after passing the AP exam.

Articulated Courses (see TJC chart below):  These courses allow students to gain college credit by attending certain classes on the high school campus.  Students must maintain a B average and apply for credit at a state college.

Concurrent Courses:  Core and career advancing courses may be taken at a college and used for concurrent college and high school credit for graduation.  A student will need an agreement with the counselor and the student's parent for such courses.

Distance Learning Courses:  Students may use the district's Interactive Television Distance Learning Equipment to take courses from participating colleges.  Currently Arp High School has connectivity with Tyler Junior College.

Internet Courses:  Students may use Internet Texas Education Agency accredited courses to gain accelerated credit.  A letter of agreement must be obtained from the counselor and the student's parent for such courses.
