AP Credit Policy
Advanced Placement (AP) examinations may count for UMKC degree credit if the exams and scores are acceptable. (Note: UMKC awards credit for specific scores on certain Advanced Placement exams that are administered by the College Board, not simply for enrollment in advanced placement courses at the high school level. In order to receive AP credit, students must have official AP score reports sent to UMKC directly from the College Board. Credit cannot be determined from high school or previous college transcripts.)
For more information, view the credit policy on the college's website.
