Pueblo West High School

Course Options/College Credit

STS (Senior to Sophomore Site-Based) courses: Students may elect to receive CSU-P/PCC/UCCS college credit while taking courses at PWHS. There are 13 PWH teachers that are credentialed to teach at the college level. The classes in the chart on the back that are highlighted in gray are taught for college credit, for a total of 75 college credits that can be earned on the Pueblo West campus. D70 assists with tuition and students will receive college credit for a grade of C or better. Students will pay a portion of tuition and fees ($16 per credit hour).

AP (Advanced Placement) courses: These courses offer a nationally recognized rigorous curriculum, preparing students for college. Requires AP testing for college credit recognized at colleges/universities (including out-of-state schools). Each college/university sets a score required to earn credit and how many credit hours to be given in a corresponding class at that school. You may visit the college/university websites to see what college credits can be earned at that school. Students have the ability to earn 3 or more college credits with an AP score of 3 or more. There is a $94 fee for AP testing. See Course Guide for details.

IB (International Baccalaureate) PWHS students may participate in the IB Diploma Program (DP). The DP is a rigorous, academically challenging and balanced program of education designed to prepare students aged 16 to 19 for success at university and life beyond. A student may take a single DP course or participate in the full-diploma program in which he/she may earn an international diploma in addition to his/her high school diploma. In order to earn college credit recognized at colleges/universities worldwide, students must take the DP exam(s). Each college/university determines how much and what type of credit will be awarded based on the course and score earned. Students may earn 3 credits or more with a DP score of 4 or more in a course. For information about earning the IB diploma, college credit, and testing, contact the DP Coordinator at PWHS. See the PWHS Course Guide for course details including testing fees.

CE-PT (Concurrent Enrollment Part-Time) courses: Students in grades 11 and 12 may earn high school elective college credit while taking classes at the college/university. D70 will pay tuition ONLY unless taking CTE courses such as welding, culinary arts, cosmetology, nursing, etc. Students must maintain a grade of C or better. Students are responsible for books and fees ($300+).

CE-FT (Concurrent Enrollment Full-Time): Students in grades 11 and 12 may elect to attend college full-time (criteria specific). Applications are available in the counseling office. Students are responsible for books and fees ($300+)
