<p>The OP specifically referred to “wasting” a semester of courses. I see nothing about scheduling difficulties.</p>
<p>The honorization policy makes it clear that this student can get at least some AP credits by taking a course in the same OR a related discipline. Judging by the interdisciplinary courses they describe on their web site, it shouldn’t be too difficult to find something that has nothing in common with AP courses and is relevant to his interests. </p>
<p>But the honors college seems to have a very specific mission and world view. They also appear to require service learning or study abroad. Maybe it isn’t a fit for this student. Maybe he could find a compromise where he “honorizes” some of his APs but not all. </p>
<p>In any case, he does have options.</p>
