AP Credit Policy
The University of New Hampshire recognizes the College Board's Advanced Placement Examination (AP) program as a means of evaluating a student's eligibility for advanced placement and credit. Students who have participated in the AP program and who have been admitted to the University should have official AP score reports forwarded directly to the UNH Admissions Office from the College Board. After receiving the College Board AP score report, the Admissions Office notifies the student, the student's college dean and adviser, and the Registrar's Office of any credit award and advanced placement.
