College Prep vs. Honors

High School students at UHC have the option for most courses to earn either College Prep (CP) credit or Honors credit.  In addition, we offer a section of some courses called CPO for students in our Learning Differences program. The chart below explains the difference in these credit levels.  High school course descriptions provide more explanation of the specific requirements for each course and level.
