Theteachers in the secondary schools present these courses to eligible students according to collegiate standardsreproducing as closely as possible a college environment. Kenyon's standards are maintained in a number of ways:college departmental representatives visit and evaluate classes in the schools, and teachers and professors periodicallyexchange papers for cross-grading. At the end of a course, a student's grade is reported on a Kenyon transcript to thecollege he or she has elected to attend.Mount Vernon currently offers KAP courses in History, Art, Chemistry, English, French, and Spanish.CENTRAL OHIO TECHNICAL COLLEGE (COTC)For the Advanced Composition, PreCalculus, and Introduction to Business, high school students may be eligible forCOTC credit through College Credit Plus.NORTH CENTRAL STATE COLLEGE (NCSC)For Human Physiology and PreCalculus, high school students may be eligible for NCSC credit through College CreditPlus.With College Credit Plus, students earn both high school and college credit.College Credit Plus Eligibility Requirements are determined by the college.5
