Potential to earn college credit (Be sure to check the specific Colleges/Universities you are applying to for transferability) Typically earn one high school credit for each class you take Get a first-hand idea of what's required of attending college May give you the opportunity to take classes your high school may not offer Shows rigor on your high school transcript DE classes are sometimes offered online which allows for flexibility in scheduling DE classes don’t meet every day freeing up some time Opportunity to get ahead in credits.

If you already have a busy, stressful schedule, the additional requirements of DE could cause your grades to suffer and defeat its own purpose. The courses you take in DE are real college courses—meaning they’ll go on your transcript and stay there forever—so you need to feel fairly confident that you’ll be able to do well. If you don’t do well enough in your classes, colleges may require you to withdraw at the end of the semester. Classes failed that are required for graduation have to be made up. There is no Credit Recovery Some schools may not accept all—or any—of the credits you’ve earned. Be sure to contact the college you’ll be attending (or the colleges to which you are applying) and ask about their policies. The schedule may not work with the classes you take at AHS. And AHS classes take priority. Also students cannot be on campus during the period they have a DE class and they must provide their own transportation to make that happen. Some basic college classes may not be viewed as rigorously as an AP class For example, an admission officer may look at your transcript and wonder why you chose to take an introductory biology course at your local community college rather than taking the AP biology course offered at your high school..
