College Credit Earned in High School

AP/IB

AP, IB & College Credit

ǿմý University recognizes challenging coursework by giving credit for approved Advanced Placement tests (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) work and transcripted college credit earned while in high school. Advanced standing credit may be used to satisfy general university requirements, major requirements where allowed, and to ultimately accelerate graduation.

 

Advanced Placement (AP)

A student who receives a score of 4 or 5 on an Advanced Placement Test in high school will receive credit for the appropriate ǿմý equivalent course. Proficiency rather than credit will be noted for a score of 3 for any ǿմý equivalent course except Integrative Studies courses (INST) or their substitutes and mathematics (MATH) courses. Exemption from mathematics, Integrative Studies courses and substitutes requires a score of 4 or 5. Proficiency means that the ǿմý equivalent course may be skipped when it is a required, prerequisite, or co-requisite course.

For more information on AP Credit and how your score would transfer to ǿմý, please visit the ǿմý University Course Catalog.

 

College Credit

Upon acceptance to ǿմý, students are required to submit an official transcript from the college or university at which time ǿմý will evaluate their credit. From there, ǿմý will send a full evaluation of credit to the student, better explaining how their credits will transfer to ǿմý upon enrollment.
