Fairfield University will award three or four hours credit toward graduation for each AP course taken by a student provided that the student has taken an Advanced Placement Exam prepared by the College Board program and obtained an exam score of 4 or 5. It is the discretion of college/school officials to determine if such AP credits can be used to exempt students from specific University courses or requirements. Normally, AP credit will not exempt a student from requirements in his/her major. No student will be awarded more than a total of 15 AP credits by Fairfield University.
