AP Credit Policy
Sierra College accepts Advanced Placement (AP) examinations with scores of three or higher. Currently enrolled students may be awarded up to six units of credit per examination. Credit is awarded for a Sierra College course or courses; as general education credit; or as elective credit. Students automatically receive credit for AP examinations if official College Board Advanced Placement scores are sent to the College (Sierra Col-lege Code=4697). Grades are not assigned and the credit is not used in calculating grade point average. Students are notified when credit is granted. AP credit will not be used to alleviate a substandard grade.
For more information, view the credit policy on the college's website.
