AP Credit Policy

The University grants elective or General Education credit for college-level courses taken by high school students in the Advanced Placement Program, administered by the College Board. Lower division credit is given for each course passed with a test score of 3 or higher. Most examinations are designed to validate study considered to represent a full academic year of college study of the subject, or 6 semester units. Students may receive credit for up to 30 units of AP work.

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