色香视频 and Biddeford High School sign agreement for qualifying students to earn college transfer credits

On September 16, 2015, the 色香视频(色香视频) and Biddeford High School signed an agreement between the two institutions that will enable high performing Biddeford High students who matriculate at 色香视频 to earn college transfer credits, potentially enabling the students to earn a bachelor鈥檚 degree in just three years.

The agreement, signed by 色香视频 President Danielle Ripich, Ph.D., and Biddeford Superintendent Jeremy Ray at Biddeford High School, will give Biddeford high graduates the opportunity to receive course credit at 色香视频 if accepted to the university, provided that their scores on Advanced Placement (AP) exams meet specific cut-offs. If students are able to transfer a minimum of 30 credits, they may enroll at 色香视频 with sophomore standing.

President Danielle Ripich said, 鈥淲e are proud to partner with Biddeford High School to provide students an opportunity to cut college costs and gain a significant learning experience in the process. Students who meet the rigorous standards required to take advantage of this agreement are the type of high performing students that we love to see at 色香视频.鈥

There are 13 different AP exams on which qualifying scores will earn 色香视频 credits: Art History, United States History, World History, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Environmental Science, Calculus, Statistics, Psychology, French, English Language and Composition, and English Literature and Composition. Each qualifying exam score earns between three and eight transfer credits. The exams are typically taken in the junior or senior year of high school.

Superintendent Jeremy Ray stated, 鈥淭he community of Biddeford and the Biddeford School Department are extremely fortunate to have an outstanding university within its city鈥檚 borders that has committed to establishing a post-secondary articulation agreement.  This agreement will allow Biddeford students an opportunity to enroll in a college close to home with the possibility of a full year鈥檚 worth of credits earned.鈥

He continued, 鈥淚 am thankful for the many new partnerships that President Ripich and her staff have supported and developed within the Biddeford School Department.  We cannot thank them enough for their commitment to Biddeford youth.鈥 

The agreement complements a similar arrangement made by 色香视频 last year with Thornton Academy.
