AP Credit Policy
Students who have taken advanced placement tests through the College Entrance Examination Board Advanced Placement Program and who score satisfactorily may obtain college credit. The score necessary for credit for a particular course is determined cooperatively by the appropriate department or school and the Registrar. Students must request that their scores be sent to Francis Marion University c/o the Office of Counseling and Testing. Advanced Placement scores obtained during high school are usually received at FMU in mid-July.
For more information, view the credit policy on the college's website.
