AP Credit Policy
The student's home school/college uses the rules in effect at the time the student matriculates at Syracuse University in order to evaluate and accept degree-program credit for AP exams. The academic unit with principal responsibility for the examination subject recommends the minimum score for credit and Syracuse University course equivalency; however, the student's home school/college may have higher score requirements and/or different qualifications, both for awarding credit and meeting degree requirements.
For more information, view the credit policy on the college's website.
