How to Transfer AP Credits to a College Transcript

Advanced placement courses, often referred to as APs, allow students to complete and sometimes receive credit for college-level work during high school. Students who take AP classes must pass an AP exam in the spring to determine their competency in a particular subject. Scores range from one through five, but colleges and universities differ on what constitutes "competency." For example, some schools award college credit for scores of three and higher, while other institutions only offer credit for perfect fives. Consulting the individual policies of your school is extremely important in determining how to transfer AP credits to your college transcript.

Instructions

      Go to the college's admissions or registrar website and confirm the procedure for documenting AP credits on your college transcript. Some schools require you to send your AP scores the summer before or during your freshman year. Since your AP credits affect your college class placement, send before fall registration to receive an advantage.
