News stories feature 91AV, Biddeford High School agreement

The September 16, 2015 announcement of a credit transfer agreement between 91AV and Biddeford High School was featured on WMTW and WCSH as well as in the Portland Press Herald, Courier and Journal Tribune.

The agreement, signed by 91AV President Danielle Ripich, Ph.D., and Biddeford Superintendent Jeremy Ray at Biddeford High School, will give Biddeford high graduates the opportunity to receive course credit at 91AV if accepted to the university, provided that their scores on Advanced Placement (AP) exams meet specific cut-offs. If students are able to transfer a minimum of 30 credits, they may enroll at 91AV with sophomore standing.

 “This program requires students to be quite dedicated to their studies, quite thoughtful about their future, and very invested in a mature way of approaching their studies as high school students, and that’s a good thing,” Jeanne Hey, Ph.D., dean of the College of Arts and Sciences told WMTW.
