Credit for no more than six electives may be gained by any combination of AP, placement, accreditation, IB, or other examinations.
AP in any language: A score of 3 meets the College language requirement; however, no credit is granted.
AP Physics or Calculus: Students who register for physics or calculus forgo AP credit.
AP Computer Science: Students who register for CMSC 10500, 10600, 15100, 15200 forgo AP credit. Students who enroll in CMSC 16100 and 16200 may retain elective credit.
AP Chemistry: Students may choose one of the following options: They can accept credit for General Chemistry (CHEM 11101-11201-11301), or they can register for the two-quarter Honors General Chemistry sequence (CHEM 12200-12300, Autumn/Winter Quarters). Students who complete the honors sequence will receive one quarter of AP credit for CHEM 11101, and will have completed the equivalent of one year of general chemistry. NOTE: Students who register for one to three quarters of General Chemistry or one to two quarters of Honors General Chemistry forgo partial or full AP credit. For complete information, see Chemistry section of this catalog.
† A student who wishes to receive credit for MATH 15300 or to register either for MATH 16100-16200-16300 or for PHYS 14100-14200-14300, or both, is required to take the calculus placement text during Orientation.
‡ Note that a major in physics or chemistry requires PHYS 13100-13200-13300 or PHYS 14100-14200-14300.
+ A biological sciences major requires a "Fundamental" sequence in general education or an "AP 5" sequence in the major. Students with an AP 5 who complete the three-quarter "AP 5" sequence are awarded a second AP credit to meet the general education requirement.
** Students who register for chemistry or physics forgo AP credit for 10000-level PHSC.
§ No credit is given for Computer Science A, Environmental Science, or Psychology.
