SCA Philosophy of Admission into AP/Dual Credit Classes SCA currently offers dual credit through Southwest Baptist University and Saint Louis University. The ability to take a class for AP/dual credit at the high school level is to be considered an earned privilege for those students whose attitude toward study reflects a collegiate level of maturity. Prior to enrollment in the initial AP/dual credit class, students and parents will be required to attend a short meeting in order to review college and classroom expectations. Dual credit requirements are established by the Missouri Coordinating Board for Higher Education. Course Requirements for all students In order to preserve the integrity of the collegiate environment within these classes, the following restrictions will apply: ● Students should have achieved an overall SCA cumulative percentage 80% or higher ● Students must meet ACT/SAT guidelines as named by the college. o SBU Guidelines ▪ English students must have an 18 on English portion of ACT ▪ Math Students must have an 18 on Math portion of ACT ● Students will achieve a 70% or higher on the initial class exam ● Students new to SCA will take a writing exam Summit Technology Dual Credit Once students are accepted into Summit Technology, they may be assigned a dual credit course through the University of Central Missouri, the Missouri Community College System, or Missouri University of Science and Technology, or the University of Missouri-Kansas City. SCA recognizes all assigned courses through STA as weighted courses. AP Courses Currently, SCA offers 3 AP courses: AP Chemistry, AP Calculus AB, and AP Physics. Students may take the AP course exam at the end of the year but are not required to do so. AP students may have prerequisite courses and are approved by the instructor.
