OHS does not limit the number of AP courses a student may enroll in, but it is necessary to complete the application process. AP Course applications for the following school year are made available at the end of January. Students are informed of selections in early February, well ahead of course registration in March.
Students who are accepted and enroll in an AP course at OHS commit to taking the AP exam in May and are required to submit payment before tests will be ordered. Students who qualify for free/reduced lunch are eligible for an AP fee waiver and can take the test at no charge.
If a student withdraws from an Advanced Placement course, the colleges and universities to which the student has already applied will be informed of the change in the students schedule.
Course descriptions may be found in the OHS Guide to Curriculum. Okemos High School welcomes students from other high schools seeking a test location and will administer tests for which we do not offer an AP course, though requests must occur during our AP exam registration window.
More information about OHS AP policies can be found in the OHS Guide to Curriculum.

AP Credit Policies
There are many benefits to taking an AP course, including the possibility of earning college credit. Before registering for multiple AP exams, students are advised to research the various credit policies at colleges of interest. You may find. for example, that the college of your choice will not grant credit for both AP English Literature and AP English Language.
