ADVANCED PLACEMENT AND INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE COURSEWORK

 Tulsa Public Schools’ students who enroll in courses provided through the College Board’s Advanced Placement (AP) program or the International Baccalaureate (IB) Organization’s IB program must take the associated examinations for those courses when eligible.  Students and parents/guardians shall be notified by the schools of this requirement through related published materials and course selection procedures.

Students who decline to sit for these examinations forfeit the weighted grade eligibility for the courses taken.   There is no minimum or passing score required on any examination to qualify for a weighted grade.

Registrars shall remove from a student’s GPA weighted grade calculation the weighting of any AP or IB course for which no examination registration exists.

Counselors shall make available information regarding examination fee reductions and/or waivers for eligible students/families as authorized by the examining agencies and/or the Oklahoma State Department of Education.
