Rules that apply to every exam

No credit is awarded for AP examination scores of 2 or 1.
Bachelor's degree students may earn no more than 60 hours of credit by examination, including AP credit, across all programs.
There is no limit to the number of AP credits that can be used to meet general studies requirements, including Natural Sciences, Literacy and Critical Inquiry, and Scientific Thinking in the Natural Sciences.
Credit is not awarded if it duplicates credit already earned at ASU or accepted from another institution.
Credit may not be received for a lower-level or prerequisite course when credit has already been received in a higher-level course within the same field.
Credit is awarded when scores are received by the university directly from the CEEB.
Students may elect to remove AP exam credit; cumulative university hours are adjusted and the corresponding ASU course may then be completed.
Credit is based on the date the exam was taken; students should refer to the catalog of that year or the Transfer Guide for earlier exams.
Only credit earned by comprehensive examination counts toward the resident credit requirement for graduation.
