New Pre-AP/AP Guidelines Petition for Pre-AP/AP Course Exit To ensure that students allow sufficient time to become acclimated to the courses and what the Pre-AP/AP curriculum can offer, Georgetown ISD expects that any student who enrolls in a Pre-AP/AP course will remain in the course until the second progress report grading cycle (6th week of school). After the 6 th week mark, you cannot request a change until the end of the semester.
