What happens if…?
A student fails any courses while enrolled in
MOWR?
• The course and grade is posted to the college and high
school transcript
• A decision will have to be made by the college,
parents/guardian of the student, high school counselor, and
curriculum AP to determine if the student is allowed to
continue.
Things to Consider… MOWR vs AP
• Some students will take both: AP and MOWR
Your high school might not offer the AP course you want/need: MOWR often
does
• AP course might be year long or 2 semester course so no “time”
for AP course in your HS Schedule
MOWR courses are 1 semester
• AP courses include heavy graded coursework
MOWR includes heavy coursework but not as much is graded
(what kind of student are you ?)
Are they Ready
to Move On ???
