#Many Colleges or Universities may apply AP credit toward satisfaction of subject or specific requirements (e.g., major). AP policies vary by institution. See the
website for policy information of the individual institutions: http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/apcreditpolicy/index.jsp . See a counselor to discuss how AP
is applied.
##Students who take the Calculus BC examination and earn a subscore of 3 or higher on the Calculus AB portion will receive credit for the Calculus AB
examination, even if they do not receive a score of 3 or higher on the BC examination.
AA: Students should be aware that AP test credit is evaluated by corresponding it to an equivalent GWC course, e.g. History G170. A student who receives
AP credit and then takes the equivalent GWC course will have the unit credit for such duplication deducted prior to being awarded the A.A. degree. Credit
by Advanced Placement exam is noted and listed first on a student’s transcript, with units assigned and no grade.
CSU GE: The Advanced Placement examinations may be incorporated into the certification of CSU General Education-Breadth requirements by any certifying
institution. All CSU campuses will accept the minimum units shown and apply them toward fulfillment of the designated General Education-Breadth area if the
examination is included as part of a full or subject-area certification. Please note that individual CSU campuses may choose to grant more units than those
specified toward completion of General Education-Breadth requirements.
IGETC: AP exams must be used in area indicated regardless of where the certifying CCC’s discipline is located.
The AP Chart is based on the most current information available. Although every attempt has been made to assure the accuracy of the information provided,
make sure to use the links below to see the original documents.
