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.
Even though the AP
credits may have been legitimately earned, students often find that
these high school-level courses did not provide the same foundational
knowledge that is available through an introductory-level university
course. Some 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, no additional degree
credits will be earned nor will the grade be included in the
grade-point average.
