FIU

Florida International University AP credit

What each AP score earns at Florida International University: 38 exams, credit shown in credits. Always confirm with the school before you plan your schedule.

Rules that apply to every exam

A maximum of 45 credits are awarded for all exams combined; additional credits may be awarded upon request.
Official scores must be sent directly to FIU from the examining organization, such as College Board.
There are no grades associated with these exams, and therefore no impact on GPA.
Exams and equivalencies are included in the Panther Degree Audit and transcript.
UCC1/UCC2 designations that satisfy University Core Curriculum requirements may not satisfy major requirements.
Duplicate credit is not awarded; earning ENC 1101 through AP and IB awards 3 credits, not 6.
ELE UCC1 (elective) is an exception to the duplicate-credit rule and may be awarded more than once.
