AP Credit Policy
Belmont College encourages any student who is planning to attend college to take an ACT or SAT test or the Belmont College Accuplacer Placement Indicator. Test results are for placement purposes. A placement indicator is used to measure current academic ability in certain areas. The College measures all new students' skill levels in math, reading, and writing to ensure placement into the appropriate courses. Students who have already mastered certain skills or abilities may be able to begin coursework at a higher level. If students do not test at an academic level that will enable them to succeed in college level courses, their beginning course work may include developmental courses which are required, yet do not course toward a degree or certificate. Developmental courses are designed to provide students with the training to handle college-level course work. The College also recognizes the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and Advanced Placement Exams (AP) as eligible transfer credit.
For more information, view the credit policy on the college's website.
