Getting College Credit
You can earn credit and/or placement at most colleges and universities in the United States, and in more than 60 other countries, through qualifying AP Exam scores. At many of these institutions, you may earn up to a full year of college credit (sophomore standing) by earning a sufficient number of qualifying AP Exam scores.
Individual colleges and universities, not the College Board or the AP Program, grant course credit and placement. Because policies vary by institution, you should obtain a college's AP policy in writing. You can find this information in the institution's catalogue or on its Web site, or by using the AP Credit Policy Info search.
Colleges that have received your AP score report will generally notify you during the summer of any placement, credit, and/or exemption you have earned. You can also contact the college's admission office to find out the status of your AP credit and/or placement.
