JUMP TO: IB, A-Level, Additional Information
Advanced Placement and/or credit awards are given to students who have participated in the College Board AP Program and who have scored 4 or higher in subject area tests. When you request your scores, remember to request them for every test you took while in high school. You can request them at 609.771.7300 or 888.225.5427 or apexams@info.collegeboard.org. If you have not received your AP test results before registration begins, register for classes and then adjust your courses, if necessary, when you receive your scores.
Students are not permitted to retake courses for which they will receive AP credit.
Check your unofficial transcript or your degree works to verify everything is there. If something is missing, please contact your Advisor at 504.865.5798 for assistance. Our office receives test results throughout the year. No more than four credits of English or a foreign language will be awarded to any student, even if the student has a qualifying score in both Language and Literature tests.
Students interested in pursuing careers in the health field should consult the pre-professional advisor about their AP/IB credit.
