AP Credit Policy
Students may earn nontraditional credit through three national testing programs. The College Board's Advanced Placement program (AP), available to high school students, gives the opportunity to enter college with credit already earned toward a degree. Students who wish to have their AP, IB, or CLEP results evaluated for transfer credit should have official score reports sent directly to the college's Office of Admissions and Records and complete a Request for Transfer Evaluation form, also available from that office.
For more information, view the credit policy on the college's website.
