A couple of quick guidelines:
- No duplicate credit will be awarded
- Example: earning ENGL 1101 in AP and IB. This will award a single instance of ENGL
1101 at 3 credits; not 6)
- xT00 (elective) is an exception and may be awarded more than once
- If a student earns credit for the same course from different exams, credit will be
awarded from the exam that would provide the most credit
- When an exam score corresponds to the same credit as a completed course, the course credit will be applied, if the course grade is 鈥淐鈥 or higher
- Course equivalencies are included in degree audit and/or transcript
-
