Advanced Placement (AP) Examination Credit

Students receive credit for all scores of 3 or above.

Departments are encouraged to identify specific major and GE&B course credits, rather than "free electives," for the Advanced Placement (AP) exams relevant to their disciplines.

The Academic Senate Program Review and Improvement Committee will evaluate departments' advanced placement policies during the course of their normal review process.
