AP Credit Policy
The University will normally grant credit for AP subjects taken in high school and for which a student scores a 3 or higher on the standardized AP exam. A score of 4 or 5 may be required to obtain credit for a specific course. Appropriate credit depends on the specific academic program to which the credit is applied. In some circumstances, the credit will be applied to an elective rather than a course required for the major. The Dean's office of each College will determine how the credits will be applied for courses taught in that college.
For more information, view the credit policy on the college's website.
