AP credit policy

AP credit policy refers to how colleges and universities recognize Advanced Placement (AP) exam scores from high school students. When students take AP courses and score well on the corresponding exams, they may earn college credit or advanced placement in courses at participating institutions. Each college has its own policy regarding which AP scores are accepted, how much credit is awarded, and how it counts toward degree requirements. This can help students save time and money in college by allowing them to skip introductory courses or fulfill general education requirements based on their AP achievements.
