AP Credit Policy
UCM Faculty members are interested in knowing the level of knowledge a student possesses upon entry to the University. Course equivalents are subject to change pending faculty review. Only tests taken within the past 10 years are considered for special credit review. Only official AP score reports (scores sent from The College Board directly to Testing Services) are considered for review. Students eligible to receive course credit by examination must be actively attending classes at UCM and are responsible for notifying Testing Services. Please do not enroll in a course in which you anticipate receiving AP credit.
For more information, view the credit policy on the college's website.
