OHS offers the following courses, as approved by the College Board through the AP Audit: Art, Biology, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Computer Science, English Literature, French Language, German Language, Latin, Spanish Language, Statistics, World History, United States Government, and United States History.

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. For 2013 the test fee is $90. Students who qualify for free/reduced lunch are eligible for an AP fee waiver and can take the test at no charge.

Course descriptions may be found in the OHS Guide to Curriculum. Okemos High School welcomes students from other high schools seeking a testing location and will administer tests for which we do not offer an AP course, though requests for such must be received prior to the submitting the exam order to the College Board. The exam order is typically submitted to the College Board by mid-March.

All students testing at OHS are required to complete the pre-administration information, either during the designated FLEX session or the designated after school session. Students who do not attend either session will be expected to complete the pre-administration during an AP class period.

More information about OHS AP policies can be found in the Guide to Curricululm.

Students intending to take AP tests in May of 2013 at Okemos High School should complete this form and submit test fees to the Guidance Office no later than November 9, 2012. Registrations may be accepted after this date but will be subject to a late fee.

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. Click here to use the AP Credit Policy search tool provided by the College Board.
