AP, IB, A/AS-Level Exam Credit and Running start
Students who completed AP, IB, A-Level, or AS-Level exams may be eligible for 蘑菇视频 credit. Credit depends on the exam, score, 蘑菇视频 policy, and possible overlap with other exams or college courses.
At 蘑菇视频, AP scores of 3 or higher are considered for college credit awards or placement into 蘑菇视频 courses. AP scores may be submitted only for courses taken while in high school and for tests taken during or within six months after leaving high school.
Students should request official AP scores through College Board and have them sent to the 蘑菇视频 Office of Admissions. The 蘑菇视频鈥檚 four-digit code is 4854.
The easiest way to make sure 蘑菇视频 receives your IB transcript is to name 蘑菇视频 as a recipient when you sign up for IB exams. If you did not name 蘑菇视频 as a recipient, contact the IB Organization to request that an official IB transcript be sent directly to the 蘑菇视频 Office of Admissions.
In most cases, 蘑菇视频 awards credit for IB subjects in which the student earned a grade of 4 or higher. Students who earn an IB diploma, not just a certificate, receive 5 additional quarter credits toward 蘑菇视频 graduation requirements.
蘑菇视频 awards credit only when an official A-Level or AS-Level exam certificate is submitted to the Office of Admissions. Preliminary results, Statements of Results, or unofficial photocopies cannot be used to grant credit.
In general, 蘑菇视频 grants 15 quarter credits for a passing A-Level exam and 7.5 quarter credits for a passing AS-Level exam. No grades are posted for A-Level or AS-Level exams.
Dual credit refers to college-level coursework completed while a student was still in high school, such as Running Start, College in the High School, or similar dual-enrollment programs. If you completed college coursework before graduating from high school, 蘑菇视频 may review those credits for transfer after receiving your official college transcript.
