Credit is awarded for a performance at the level of four or five on AP examinations offered in high schools under the College Board unless noted otherwise on the AP chart available in the Registrar's Office. Credit is accepted by most, but not all, departments at Bethel. Specific information regarding transfer of credit can be obtained from the registrar. Credit earned will be recorded as CR. At most colleges that accept AP credit in foreign languages, a score of 4 or 5 allows the student 8 hour credit (CR) and exemption from the foreign language competency requirement. In some schools a score of 3 allows the student 4 hours of credit for one semester.
