AP Credit Policy

The college's standard policy for College Board Advanced Placement (AP) Exams is to award a maximum of eight degree credits for each subject test on which a score of 4 or higher is earned. There are several exceptions to this standard policy, and they are noted in the online College Catalog, under the "Academics" section. Credit awarded under this policy may be applied toward the 124-credit degree requirement, but may not be used to satisfy Distribution Requirements. A maximum of one year's credit (30 semester hours) may be accepted as general degree credit. AP will not be granted if the equivalent course is completed at Whitman College.
