AP Credit Policy
A student who receives a score of 4 or 5 on an Advanced Placement Exam will be granted credit for a year's course or for a term's course, as well as exemption from both the department's introductory course, if there is one, and any appropriate Leadership Core requirement. For a few tests, a score of 3 will also be granted credit. Students must request that Educational Testing Service (ETS) send official score reports to the Registrar's Office.
For more information, view the credit policy on the college's website.
