ڰAPP honors College Board Advanced Placement (AP)® examination scores of 3, 4, or 5 and will grant credit where appropriate in accordance with the following policies and procedures.
Upon ڰAPP receipt of the AP Score Report, AP Examination scores of 3, 4, or 5 will automatically:
To use an AP examination score to satisfy a course prerequisite, students will need to request and complete a Prerequisite Challenge Petition in the division office offering the course. IMPORTANT: CSU and UC policies vary on the use of AP credit to satisfy academic requirements. Students who use AP scores to satisfy prerequisites at ڰAPP may encounter later challenges meeting academic requirements at the transfer institution. Students should review AP credit policies at their targeted transfer institutions before attempting to use AP credit to satisfy prerequisites at ڰAPP.
Score: 3, 4, or 5
Allows ڰAPP students to:
Score: 3 or higher
Allows ڰAPP students to:
Students who earn a 3 or higher on the Calculus AB or Calculus BC exams will need to complete a Prerequisite/Corequisite Challenge form with the School of Science, Engineering & Mathematics to petition enrollment in MATH 112, MATH 166, or MATH 138. Students should provide a strong case as to why they wish to "repeat" a course.
Score: 3 or higher
Allows ڰAPP students to:
Students who earn a 3 or higher on the Calculus AB or Calculus BC exams will need to complete a Prerequisite/Corequisite Challenge form with the School of Science, Engineering & Mathematics to petition enrollment in MATH 112, MATH 166, or MATH 138. Students should provide a strong case as to why they wish to "repeat" a course.
If the student plans to transfer to a public or private university to pursue a baccalaureate degree, bear in mind that AP credit-granting policies vary at each institution for:
To learn about AP credit-granting policies upheld by transfer institutions, students should meet with an ڰAPP counselor and research AP policies on the internet.
ڰAPP students who have earned course credit at ڰAPP for an AP exam should not take the comparable ڰAPP course. Transfer credit will not be granted for both.
Granting of units through AP examinations are subject to the following allowances and restrictions:
Because the CSU system honors full or area CSU-GE "breadth certifications" from ڰAPP for the baccalaureate degree, certifications showing that AP scores were used to satisfy ڰAPP's CSU-GE requirements will also satisfy the transfer CSU's breadth requirement for baccalaureate degree. For more information on the CSU-GE Certification process and AP examinations, visit the Counseling Office, Student Services Building, Room 226. (CSU Executive Order 1036, Section 1.2.4)
AP Exam scores do not expire and can therefore be used to satisfy IGETC requirements regardless of wen the exams were taken so long as that examination is still honored by IGETC. AP exam scores of 3, 4, or 5 can be used to satisfy one IGETC area course requirement, with the exception of the following:
AP credit from a foreign language exam may be used to satisfy IGETC: 6A Language other than English and IGETC 3B: Humanities.
AP credit cannot be used to satisfy IGETC:1B Critical Thinking
AP credit cannot be used to satisfy IGETC:1C Oral Communication
