Advanced Placement
Incoming students who submit Advanced Placement (AP) test scores from the College Board and who achieved satisfactory scores are considered for advanced placement or credit. College credit may be granted for scores of 3, 4, or 5, depending on the subject. See the Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate webpage for details.
When test scores are sent directly to the university, they are reviewed and, when appropriate, credit is entered in the student’s record. Transfer students who were awarded credit by AP from their previous institution must have test scores sent directly to Stevenson from the College Board in order to be awarded equivalent credit.
Credit cannot be awarded for AP and the equivalent college course. Credit awarded for AP exam scores is included in the 90 credits that can be applied to degree requirements from a combination of 2-year institutions, 4-year institutions, and non-direct classroom instruction.
