College Board Advanced Placement (AP) and College Level Examination Program (CLEP)


The student's home college or school will evaluate and apply accepted credit to the degree program for AP and CLEP examinations. Schools and colleges will be guided by the recommendations of minimum acceptable score, awardable credit, and SU course equivalency made by the academic unit with principal responsibility for the examination subject. Current recommendations are shown in Table B and Table C. Examinations not represented on these tables may be assessed at the discretion of the appropriate academic unit. A student's home college or school may have different score requirements than these recommendations, both for awarding credit and satisfying degree requirements.
