Credit for advanced placement
The advanced placement (AP) program of the college entrance examination board was developed to give recognition to applicants who take college-level courses in secondary school. Thus, students may earn college credit and may be excused from certain college requirements by satisfactorily passing advanced placement examinations.
小优传媒 grants credit to students who have earned a score of 4 or 5 in the Advanced Placement Program. Depending on the exam and the student鈥檚 major, scores of 4 or 5 may also meet specific course requirements. For scores of 3, each department sets its own policy, as shown below. No credit is given for scores of 1 or 2.
