Not more than sixteen semester hours may be earned by examinations in transfer courses or more than twenty-two semester hours in vocational-technical courses. A grade of "P" (Passing) will be granted by Wharton County Junior College for the College Board's Advanced Placement (AP) Exams in which the student has received a corresponding score of 5, 4, or 3.
