AP, IB, GCE, CLEP Credits


Students may be awarded credits for coursework completed prior to college through the combination of advanced placement examinations, International Baccalaureate, General Certificate of Education, and proficiency examinations. Credits earned through these methods are not computed in the cumulative grade-point average.School of Engineering Office of Academic Services determines if such courses and/or credits are applicable to the engineering major or toward general education requirements.

AP Credits:  Degree credit and placement are granted for grades of 4 and 5 on the College Board Advanced Placement Examinations, provided the subject matter is equivalent to those courses satisfying the engineering curriculum requirements. Each student has the option of presenting advanced placement results for degree credit or of taking the equivalent course at Rutgers for degree credit and a grade. Students may not receive credit for both advanced placement and the equivalent Rutgers course.

IB Exams: 
The School of Engineering recognizes the rigor of the International Baccalaureate program and grants college credit for students who demonstrate strong performance (scores of 7, 6, and 5) on Higher Level exams. Credit is not given for grades of 4 or lower or for Subsidiary/Standard Level exams.

GCE A-Level:

CLEP:
  School of Engineering does not accept the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) for credits.
