AP Exam Credit

WCSU participates in the College Board Advanced Placement Program and awards college credit to entering students. Effective Fall 2019, students who earn a score of a 3 or higher on the AP exam will receive college credit. College credit will be given as either elective credit or a core requirement elective based on the requirements of each program/major. Applicants who seek advanced placement because they have taken one or more of the Advanced Placement Examinations should have the examination results sent to the Office of Admissions prior to enrollment.

A minimum score of 3 is required.
