Advanced Placement


Degree credit is awarded for advanced placement examination scores of 4 and 5 on the College Board Advanced Placement (AP) Examinations. Credit is not given for grades of 3, 2, or 1. A list of advanced placement exams and scores, and the Rutgers degree credit that is awarded based on those scores, can be found on the SAS Academic Services website.

Some students may find that these high school-level courses do not provide the same foundational knowledge that is available through an introductory-level university course.  Students may, after consultation with an adviser, decide to waive the credits from the AP course to enable them to register for the introductory course in a particular academic discipline. This waiver must be requested in writing prior to registering for the introductory course and may not be reversed. If the student accepts the credits and subsequently enrolls in the course, the AP credit equivalent is replaced with the degree credits earned. Advanced Placement exam scores will not be accepted for credit if the exam is completed after the student's graduation from high school.

Students may not use credit awarded for advanced placement toward the 21st Century Challenges [21C] and Revision-Based Writing and Communication [WCr] learning goals in the SAS Core Curriculum.
