AP Credit Policy
Chabot College recognizes the Advanced Placement Program (AP). Official copies of the AP Exam scores must be on file with Chabot College. Because each college and university evaluates AP scores differently, students should contact the institution to which they are transferring regarding AP scores meeting specific requirements. Students will not receive credit for a course if they have already been granted credit for that course using AP Examination results. Transfer institutions may not grant credit for taking a course that was awarded AP examination credit.
For more information, view the credit policy on the college's website.
