CIC Ghana - Advance Placement International Diploma
Advanced Placement International Diploma (APID)
The Advanced Placement International Diploma (APID) is a globally recognized certificate for students with an international outlook. The APID challenges a student to display exceptional achievement on AP Exams across several disciplines.
The APID is available to students attending schools outside the United States and to U.S. resident students applying to universities outside the country. The APID is not a substitute for a high school diploma, but rather provides additional certification of outstanding academic excellence.
To earn an APID, a student attending school within the United States must indicate on at least one AP Exam answer sheet that the results should be sent to a university outside the United States. Please see AP International Recognition for a list of universities outside the U.S. that use AP in admissions.
Advanced Placement International Diploma Criteria
To earn an APID, students must earn grades of three or higher on at least five AP Exams in the following content areas:
1. Two AP Exams from two different languages selected from English and/or world languages:
English |
English Language and Composition |
World Languages |
Note: A student may submit a letter from an administrator at his or her school verifying the student's mastery of a language not currently available within the AP suite of exams. This verification, printed on school letterhead, will satisfy the requirement for ONE AP Exam in the language category. However, a student who utilizes this option must submit an additional AP Exam from another content area. Thus, all students, however they satisfy the two-exam English and/or world language requirement, must submit a total of five AP Exam grades of 3 or higher to qualify for the APID.
2. One AP Exam designated as offering a global perspective: World History , Human Geography, and Government and Politics: Comparative.
3. One exam from the sciences or mathematics content areas:
Mathematics |
Sciences |
*Note: Calculus and Computer Science courses may each count only once toward the APID.
4. One (or two) additional exam(s) from among any content areas except English and world languages. These include the content areas already described as well as history and social sciences and arts:
History and Social Sciences |
Arts |
|
Note: Students submitting verification of mastery of a language not currently available within the AP suite of exams to satisfy the requirement of one of the exams in the language category must offer TWO additional exams to fulfil the fourth requirement. Thus, all students, however they satisfy the two-exam English and/or world language requirement, must submit a total of five AP Exam grades of 3 or higher to qualify for the APID.
