Advanced Placement (AP)
The Advanced Placement (AP) Program offers college-level courses and exams that students can take in high school. Students should have their official score report sent from College Board to the Undergraduate Admissions Office for evaluation. These credits may count towards the overall 120 credit minimum required for a degree in one of three ways:
- Major course credit.
- General Education (LEP) credit.
- Elective credit (i.e. course numbers such as 0100 and 0200 are generally elective credits).
Credit will not be awarded for any AP exam that covers material from a college course for which the student has already received credit. A minimum score of 3 is required to earn credits, and each course is awarded 3 credits, unless a different score or credit value is specified below.
