AP Credit Policy
Semester credit hours will be placed on the student's permanent record upon admission to TWU, to facilitate advising. Semester credit hours received at another college or university will be accepted to TWU as transfer credits where applicable upon receipt of an official transcript. A student may not receive semester credit hours by examination for a TWU course in which she or he has enrolled. No more than 30 semester credit hours can be received as credit by examination (AP/CLEP/IB). Official score reports must be submitted directly from the test agency, recorded on an official high school transcript, or by an official student test score report submitted to the Office of Admissions Processing.
For more information, view the credit policy on the college's website.
