Advanced Placement Program

CCC accepts credit for Advanced Placement exams, providing that the student has successfully completed the exam(s) and has requested that credit be placed on the transcript. The student is responsible for requesting that all examination results be sent to the Registrar. The Registrar will contact the appropriate division and program chair to determine credit eligibility. The student has the right to ask that the results of the Advanced Placement exam not be included on the transcript, in which case the exam cannot be used to satisfy graduation requirements. Natural Science exams will not satisfy laboratory science requirements.

Credits received for Advanced Placement exams may not be used for financial assistance eligibility. If a student does choose to include an Advanced Placement exam, the transcript will indicate the exam used to earn the credit. The student may also select either a letter grade based on the equivalency sheets on file in the Registrar’s Office or a grade of “P” for “Pass.” A student will receive credit comparable to the courses offered by CCC, as indicated in a current catalog.

The student must complete 15 credit hours at CCC before any Advanced Placement credits will be placed on the transcript. A student may bring in up to 12 credit hours by taking Advanced Placement exams. The College will not require additional testing to verify the results of an Advanced Placement exam. The student pays all costs related to administering the Advanced Placement exams. CCC does not guarantee the transferability of any credits received via AP examination.

Credit for all AP exam scores of three (3) or above for the equivalent course or courses at their institution, except for the following courses:

Art History, a score of 4; Physics I, a score of 4; Physics II, a score of 4.
