Advanced Placement Examinations
General Information:
- Advanced Placement (AP) credit may be used to satisfy these requirements:
- R&C = Reading & Composition
- QR = Quantitative Reasoning
- FL = Foreign Language
- AP credit may not be used to fulfill the seven-course breadth requirement.
- To earn credit for Advanced Placement, you must score 3 or higher.
- These tests must have been taken before admission to the College of Letters and Science.
- Consult individual departments such as Mathematics, History, Spanish, etc., for course equivalencies.
- AP credit earned before entering the College does not count toward maximum unit limitations, either for selection of a major or for graduation, unless the student so desires.
- Note: Students who duplicate AP credit with course work may have their AP credit deducted from their transcript.
