ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP).

(See also TRANSFER CREDITS.)

Students entering from high school may apply for college credit by taking examinations given by the Advanced Placement Program of the College Entrance Examination Board. Students who have taken any of these examinations should arrange to have the results forwarded to the University. As determined by the University, credits will be awarded for satisfactory AP scores and may count toward the Major Program or General Education requirements. The University will determine satisfactory AP scores and how they will be applied to the degree.

For information on equivalent UMW courses and requirement fulfillment, please see http://www.umw.edu/registrar/transferring_to_umw/freshmen_advanced_placemen.php or see the transfer coordinator in the Office of the Registrar.

NOTES: 

  • AP credits will be forfeited and removed from the record if the equivalent course or courses are completed at UMW or another institution (and transferred into UMW for credit).
  • AP credits are counted as completed credits toward graduation, and thus affect all decisions regarding probation, suspension, and dismissal. 
  • A student may request the permanent deletion of AP credits from his or her record at any time except when he or she is on academic suspension or after academic dismissal.
