AP Credit Policy
For each AP course taken at a participating high school, an AP Exam is administered. Each AP Exam is given an overall grade of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, with 5 indicating a student who is extremely well qualified to receive college credit and/or advanced placement. Appalachian does not accept any scores lower than "3" and sometimes gives additional credit for scores of "4" or "5."
For more information, view the credit policy on the college's website.
