Sandhills Community College

Advanced Placement Courses Students who have taken any of the following Advanced Placement courses in high school and who have made the appropriate score on the AP exam can receive credit for the courses as part of the general education courses under the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA). The AP exam must be administered by the College Board and an official score report must be submitted to the SCC Office of Records and Registration. It is the responsibility of the student to contact the College Board to request that exam scores be sent to SCC. The Director of Records and Registration will verify AP examination scores and record appropriate credit on the student's transcript. One exception to this policy is the AP Art and Design course. Determination of credit for AP Art and Design will be made by the appropriate department chair with approval by the Vice President of Instruction. Please note: Students should be aware that if they receive AP course credit at Sandhills Community College but "do not complete the associate in arts or associate in science degree" before transferring to a UNC university, their AP scores will be evaluated on the "basis of the receiving institution's AP policy," according to the CAA. For the Associate in Engineering, the Associate in Fine Arts (Music, Theatre, Visual Arts), the Associate in Arts Teacher Preparation, and the Associate in Science Teacher Preparation degrees, AP course credits "awarded for a score of three or higher, are acceptable as part of a student's successfully completed degree" under its respective agreement.
