Getting College Credit
You can earn credit and/or placement at most colleges and universities in the U.S., as well as colleges and universities in more than 40 other countries, through qualifying AP Exam grades. At many of these institutions, you can earn up to a full year of college credit (sophomore standing) through a sufficient number of qualifying AP Exam grades.
Individual colleges and universities, not the College Board or the AP Program, grant course credit and placement. Because it varies from school to school, 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 collegeboard.com's AP Credit Policy Info search.
Colleges that have received your AP Grade Report will generally notify you of any placement, credit, and exemption you have earned during the summer. You can also contact the college's admissions office to find out the status of your AP credits.
