Advanced Placement (AP)

Important Information Regarding Advanced Placement Course Offerings

Requirements Beginning 2024-25

70 O.S. § 1210.704

Beginning with the 2024–2025 school year, all public high schools in this state shall make a minimum of four advanced placement courses available to students. Local boards of education in each district shall be responsible for ensuring annually that all high school students have access to advanced placement courses beginning in the 2024-2025 school year.  Such access may be provided through enrollment in courses offered through:

• A school site or sites within the district;
• A career and technology institution within the district;
• A program offered by the Statewide Virtual Charter School Board or one of its vendors; or
• A school site or sites in another school district.

The State Department of Education will provide information to school districts which can be distributed to students and families explaining the value of advanced placement courses in preparing students for postsecondary-level coursework, enabling students to gain access to postsecondary opportunities, and qualifying for scholarships and other financial aid opportunities.
