AP Credit Policy
South Arkansas Community College awards credit for prior learning through the Advanced Placement Program of the College Entrance examination Board for entering freshmen. A student who submits the official test transcript verifying earned scores of 3, 4, or 5 may be awarded college credit for an equivalent course listed in the general catalog. This policy includes the opportunity for an incoming student to enter with sophomore standing if sufficient credit has been earned through the AP program. Credit permitted will only be allowed for the corresponding course or sequence of courses at the college, but no grade will be assigned to the approved credit nor will the hours meet residency requirements.
For more information, view the credit policy on the college's website.
