AP - The Advanced Placement Program of the College Board
About one-fourth of American secondary schools currently participate in the Advanced-Placement Program of the College Board. Each May, AP examinations are administered (by the College Board) to students who have participated in the program. Advanced-Placement credit will be granted in appropriate subjects to freshmen who earn a grade of 3, 4, or 5 on Advanced- Placement subject examinations, as specified in the chart provided. Departmental recommendations are subject to change. Contact the Office of Admissions for current recommendations.
The University accepts a maximum of 15 AP/CLEP credits toward an Associate degree and a maximum of 30 AP/CLEP credits toward a Bachelor’s degree. A list of AP examinations with course and credit equivalencies accepted by Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University is provided below.
For information about general program data and policies, see the Admissions section of this catalog and/or contact the FranU Office of Admissions.
