NOTE: Credit for no more than six electives may be gained by any combination of AP, placement, accreditation, and IB or other international examinations.
AP in any language: A score of 3 meets the College language competence requirement; however, no credit is granted.
AP Chemistry, Physics, or Calculus: Students who register for General Chemistry, Physics, or Calculus must forego AP credit.
* Students with AP 4 who plan to concentrate in the biological sciences or prepare for the health professions must register for a Fundamental Sequence (BioSci 160s, 170s, 180s, or 190s). These students may use their AP credit in electives. Students with AP 5 place out of the general education requirement and into the two-quarter 240s sequence in the concentration.
† A student who wishes to receive credit for Math 153 or to register either for Math 161-162-163 or for Phys 141-142-143, or both, is required to take the optional calculus placement exam during Orientation.
‡ Note that a concentration in physics requires Phys 131-132-133 or Phys 141-142-143.
§ No credit is given for Computer Science A, Environmental Science, Psychology, or Statistics.
