Time to register for Rio Salado
If you are planning to enroll to earn college credit from Rio Salado for this course, now is the time to enroll in both semester courses with Rio Salado.

This document discusses how college credit works for this course, compares Rio Salado credit to the AP Exam credit, and includes my thoughts on how to decide about college credit, along with answers to common questions. It also provides the course specific codes needed for registration for my classes specifically:
 Taking AP Statistics for college credit

If you decide to enroll for college credit through Rio Salado, you can enroll now. Rio Salado will be on our campus August 20 and August 21 to help students finish enrolling if they are having difficulties, so you should try to complete the process before August 20 (especially if you'll need to take Rio's EdReady math placement test...more info is in the above document).

My process for writing recommendation letters
If you are planning to ask me for a letter of recommendation, and I've had you as a student for at least one month, I am happy to write a recommendation letter for you! However, the process typically takes 2-3 weeks, so please read through this document about what information I require from you before we can begin, and plan to provide this information to me at least 3 weeks prior to your deadline:

If you take this course for Rio Salado credit, you are also subject to the Rio Salado syllabus rules:
 Rio Salado Course Syllabus - MAT206

Taking AP Statistics for college credit

You can optionally choose to take AP Statistics for college credit. If you want college credit, there are two ways to get it:
1) by taking the AP Statistics Exam in May
2) by enrolling in one 1-semester, 3-credit Rio Salado course:
     MAT206 Elements of Statistics

(You can take the AP exam *and* enroll in the Rio Salado class, choose only one of these options, or do neither and just take the course for high school math credit.)


  • AP Statistics Exam registration is done in late September/October and is done through your College Board account.
  • All students are required to 'join' our class in their College Board account using a join code - we use the online College Board AP Classroom for some mandatory assignments and reviews. I will give the join codes and more about this soon in class. Then later, in September, students who wish to take the AP Statistics Exam can sign up for the exam through their College Board account (I will provide more details in class when we are closer to registration time).

  • Rio Salado registration occurs now, so if you want to take the course for Rio Salado Dual-Enrollment credit, you should start the process soon.
