About Advanced Placement (AP) examinations and transfer credit
Advanced standing is granted for Advanced Placement (AP) examination results of '4'Ìýor better, to a maximum of 30 credits and subject to faculty rules. NOTE: It is possible that some granted exemptions may not fulfill specific program requirements.Ìý Please see your department advisor for confirmation.
AP exams already written, as well as AP exams you intend to write, must be declared on the Â鶹AV application.
Admitted students must make arrangements to have all AP results sent to Enrolment Services directly from the College Board.ÌýÂ鶹AV's institutional code with the College Board is 0935-00.
If you receive an exemption for a course but take it anyway, you will not receive Â鶹AV credit for it. Â鶹AV reserves the right to change the transfer credit recognition policy without prior notice.
