AP Credit Policy
Randolph participates in the AP Program by awarding advanced standing (course exemption and academic credits) or advanced placement (course exemption without credits) to entering students who have made specified scores on AP Examinations taken prior to matriculation at the College. Faculty members of the appropriate academic departments establish policies for advanced standing and advanced placement in each discipline. Entering students who have earned scores of "3" or better on AP Examinations may be considered for advanced placement in college courses and for credit toward graduation at the discretion of the department chairs involved. Most departments require a minimum score of "4" before credit will be granted.
For more information, view the credit policy on the college's website.
