AP Credit Policy
The College Entrance Examination Board Advance Placement Program allows high school students to earn college credit for high school work. Students usually take a high school honors course to prepare for the national Advanced Placement (AP) Exam each May. Advanced placement exams are offered in a number of academic disciplines. Credit for these exams is granted under the following conditions: A maximum of 12 AP credits may be earned in a specific subject area. A maximum of 24 AP credits may be applied toward a TVCC certificate. A maximum of 45 AP credits may be applied toward a TVCC degree. AP credit is awarded as recommended by the American Council of Education (ACE) guidelines. AP credit is not graded and will not affect the GPA. A student must earn credit at TVCC before AP credit will be awarded.
For more information, view the credit policy on the college's website.
