AP Credit Policy
The College accepts the use of alternative credit for courses for students entering the College for the first time. Students who wish to receive alternative credit for courses must have official score reports and/or transcripts from the source or agency sent to the Office of Academic Records for official evaluation and awarding of credit. Scores or transcripts sent to the Office of Admissions will be forwarded to the Office of Academic Records. The maximum number of hours that may be used to satisfy credit for courses through alternative credit is 30 hours. These courses do not affect grade point averages and are evaluated as any other transfer course. Acceptance of advanced placement credits to a specific degree will be determined by the division chair, in consultation with the Registrar. Normally, a score of 3 is accepted; however, some major divisions may require a different score. Contact the Office of Academic Records for additional information.
For more information, view the credit policy on the college's website.
