AP Credit Policy
To receive AP credit, students must earn at least a score of 3. Scores of 4 or 5 may award major specific credit. The maximum credit granted through advanced placement examinations is thirty hours (fifteen for an associate degree). It is nonresident credit, does not carry a grade, and is not used in computing the students' grade point average. The credit to be granted is determined by the appropriate department.
For more information, view the credit policy on the college's website.
