AP Credit Policy

The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture may grant credit for mathematics courses. The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) rarely grants AP credit. However, a student who has attained a grade of 5 on an AP exam may petition the dean for permission to waive a core requirement and to substitute an appropriate elective course.The Albert Nerken School of Engineering and the School of Art do not accept AP courses for credit or advanced standing.

For more information, view the credit policy on the college's website.
