AP Credit Policy
AP examinations must have been taken prior to high school graduation or within six months thereafter, but in all cases before entering William & Mary. The policies in each department governing credit and/or advanced placement for scores on these examinations vary according to how the material covered by examinations fits the curriculum of the department. Members of the William & Mary faculty regularly review curricular documents to update the examination equivalencies. Credit received through these pre-matriculation examinations may be applied toward proficiency, minor, and major requirements, and additional credits in the Knowledge Domains.
For more information, view the credit policy on the college's website.
