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 Office of 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.
