credit during their junior and senior years of high school. Students must have a
3.0 cumulative GPA to qualify for the 1-8-1-8 program.
The courses at St. Louis U. High which carry the opportunity for enrollment in
the 1-8-1-8 Program are: Calculus AB and BC, English, Modern European
History, American History, French, Latin, Russian, Spanish, Film, Computer
Science, and Theology. In general a student is permitted to enroll in three such
courses during a given semester. In any case no student may earn more than
thirty hours of college credit in two years. Saint Louis University determines
the fee. Each course is, typically, a three-hour course. (Exceptions: Biology
and Calculus.) The registration process begins at SLUH during the first and
third quarters.
• A student registering for the fist time must register on a paper form.
• A student registering a second time must register online with a
code/password provided by SLUH.
Deadlines for registration will be published on the SLUH website
(www.sluh.org). These deadlines are strictly adhered to. Students are billed
by Saint Louis University. A transcript showing all courses taken and the
grades and credits earned can be accessed at the Saint Louis University
website. This transcript will, if requested, be sent to the student’s
college/university. If the student has specific questions about the 1-8-1-8
Program, he is encouraged to speak with the teacher of the course in question
or to call SLU’s 1-8-1-8 Advanced College Credit Program Office, 977-3142.
F. Advanced Placement Examinations
Many juniors and seniors and some sophomores take one or more Advanced
Placement Examinations in May in order to earn college credit and/or
placement at an advanced level for a college freshman. The AP exams are
administered at St. Louis U. High during scheduled testing dates in May.
Students interested in taking any AP exam should first speak with their teacher
of that subject. In some cases additional preparation (outside the normal course
work) is recommended to students who wish to take an AP exam. Typically the
exam subjects that our students choose for an AP exam are: American History,
Biology, Calculus-AB, Calculus-BC, Chemistry, Computer Science,
Economics, English, Environmental Science, European History, Government
and Politics, Latin, Physics, Psychology, Spanish and Statistics.
G. Report Cards
Each semester consists of the following grading periods:
1. In mid-semester, quarter examinations are given and quarter report
card for each student is sent home.
2. At the end of each semester, final exams are given. The final grade
for the course is then recorded on the student’s permanent academic
transcript. A semester report card for each student is sent home.
