AP Credit Policy

Students complete the Advanced Placement test administered by their high schools and request that the scores be reported to Dakota State University. AP sends scores to the students and to DSU. The Vice President's Office notifies the Registrar of the exam results, and if the scores meet or exceed DSU's standards, the Registrar enters the credit for the examinations on the students' transcripts. (Nothing is entered on transcripts if the AP scores do not meet DSU credit standards.)

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