Earn Real College Credit in High School — No AP Exam Required

ASU Dual Credit — 1 Course at a Time

Any high school student — homeschool, public school, Montessori, rural, or microschool — can earn real college credits through Landmark. Take 1 course at a time from Arizona State University. Choose an On-Demand or 8-week course. No AP exam required. No separate college application. Landmark Academics coordinates enrollment so families don't have to navigate the university system alone.

Courses carry 1–4 official ASU college credits, as listed in the catalog. Getting a head start on college credits in high school may reduce the time and cost of your degree; check with the receiving college to confirm how each course will apply.

How It Works

1. Browse approved ASU courses and pick one that fits your schedule. 2. Pay the listed course price — Landmark handles the ASU application, account setup, and registration. 3. Complete the intake and course requirements, then choose the ASU transcript option needed to document the earned credit.

Who Is This For?

Public school students who want to get ahead. Rural or small school students with limited AP options. Homeschool students building their college transcript. Montessori students who need formally credited coursework. Any student who wants to start college credits early.

What Students Learn and Can Do

Students complete real ASU university coursework in the subject shown on the course card. Successful students can demonstrate college-level knowledge, use the completed course in their high-school record when appropriate, and request the ASU transcript option required to document the listed college credits.

Format, Timeline, and Requirements

On-Demand courses are self-paced within the available access period. Scheduled courses follow the published session dates, commonly in an 8-week format. Students need to be ready for college-level assignments and must satisfy the course's grading requirements; no AP exam does not mean there are no assignments or assessments.

ASU Dual Credit Compared with AP and CLEP

ASU credit comes from successfully completed university coursework. AP and CLEP credit depends on an exam score and the receiving college's policy. All three pathways can be useful, but families should compare readiness, learning format, cost, transfer policy, and degree applicability rather than assuming every credit will count the same way.

Evidence Behind the Credit Claim

Arizona State University is the institution awarding the college credit, and each approved catalog card shows the ASU course code and exact 1–4 credit value. Transfer is not guaranteed; the receiving institution makes the final decision about acceptance and degree application.
