The student should be aware that acceptance of a score of three (3) does not assure that another postsecondary institution will award advanced credit for the course. Therefore, the student should confer with the Registrar for procedural practices related to that discipline. Advanced Placement scores must be received from the College Board after the student applies for admission but prior to the beginning of the term in which the student wishes the credit to be applied. It is the student’s responsibility to request forwarding of an official score report by the College Board to the appropriate Student Development Office.
