PART B
Additionally, Advanced Placement credits may be awarded to high school students who have enrolled in selected courses at the College upon enrolling as a matriculating student at Saint Augustine’s College. Under certain circumstances, high school students classified as juniors or seniors, with a grade point average of 3.00 or better, and a letter of recommendation from their high school principal, may be granted permission to take College course work.
