AP Credit Policy
The Advanced Placement Program is a testing program of the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB). It is a special college-level learning experience of the high school student. AP exams are one form of nationally-recognized standardized examinations for which USI will grant eligible credit. Eligible credit is granted based off of the qualifying AP Exam scores received on official AP score reports. In order to be considered official, a score report/transcript must be submitted directly to USI from the organization that administers the exam.
For more information, view the credit policy on the college's website.
