AP Credit Policy
Western Illinois participates in the Advanced Placement (AP) program sponsored by College Board. The AP program is a cooperative education endeavor of secondary schools and universities. Through AP courses, high-school students engage in university-level study where they participate in classes that are more rigorous than most other high school offerings. In AP classes, students acquire skills that help them succeed academically. Successful students may earn university credits, advanced placement, or both.
For more information, view the credit policy on the college's website.
