PRE-AP EQUITY AND ACCESS POLICY
College Board believes that all students deserve engaging, relevant, and challenging gradelevel coursework. Access to this type of coursework increases opportunities for all students,
including groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in AP and college classrooms.
Therefore, the Pre-AP program is dedicated to collaborating with educators across the country
to ensure all students have the supports to succeed in appropriately challenging classroom
experiences that allow students to learn and grow. It is only through a sustained commitment to
equitable preparation, access, and support that true excellence can be achieved for all students,
and the Pre-AP course designation requires this commitment.
