Entering students may request advanced placement and/or degree credit on the basis of results of the College Board Advanced Placement Examinations. Advanced placement and/or degree credit are awarded for scores of 4 and 5; the colleges ask the appropriate academic department to evaluate scores of 3; and no advanced placement or degree credit is given for grades of 1 and 2. Final decisions are made by each college before the term begins. See the Academic Policies and Procedures chapter in each college section for further information.
