Rules that apply to every exam

AP credit counts toward the 128 semester hours required for the degree.
No diversification requirement (i.e., four divisions) may be satisfied with AP credit.
AP credit may serve as a prerequisite for specific courses, toward major requirements, or as advanced placement, depending on each department's decision.
Students who enroll in courses for which the AP placement is equivalent will have the AP credit removed from their record by the Registrar.
Advanced placement, as opposed to credit, is determined by the department.
AP credit may not be substituted for a semester of residence at the College.
