常见问题
University High School 一个学期最多能修几门课？
University High School 要求 9 到 11 年级必须修满 6 门，12 年级可以修 5 门。上限是 8 门，但第 7 和第 8 门只能从开放选修清单中选择，例如表演艺术、新闻、学生会，以及 11 到 12 年级的校队。科学课每年最多 2 门。
在尔湾联合学区的 University High School，如果 Honors 或 AP 课程跟不上，什么时候可以降到普通班？
University High School 规定开学第 6 周末之前可以从 Honors 或 AP 降到普通班，成绩随学生转入新班。加课的截止时间是第 2 周末。2026 年秋季学期的具体日期：8 月 28 日加课截止，9 月 25 日无痕退课和调整层级截止，10 月 23 日之后退课记为 W/F。
在校外或网上修的课程能记入 University High School 的成绩单吗？
需要事先获得 University High School 行政批准。尔湾联合学区以外的学分不记入成绩单，不能作为先修条件，也不能用于升入 Honors 或 AP 课程。在线课程每年最多 10 学分、总计最多 40 学分，只记通过与否。
8 年级修的 Math I 和西班牙语 1 会出现在 University High School 的成绩单上吗？
不会。初中修读的 Math I 及以上数学课程，以及部分第一级世界语言课程，不记入 University High School 的成绩单，但可以作为先修条件。例如 8 年级修完西班牙语 1，9 年级修西班牙语 2，就满足了 UC A-G 两年外语的要求。
University High School 的荣誉标注（Honors Distinction）是什么？
University High School 的英语 1 和现代世界史两门课不单独开设 Honors 班，全体学生同班上课，每学期达到标准的学生可以在成绩单上获得荣誉标注。世界历史两个学期都获得荣誉标注，或者课程成绩 92% 以上且写作 90% 以上，才有资格在 10 年级选修 AP 美国历史（US History）。
