Advance Placement Credit
Beginning Summer Semester 2007, students enrolled at the University of Utah who achieved scores of 5, 4, or 3 in an Advanced Placement (AP) examination in high school may be awarded up to six semester hours of credit for year courses and three semester hours of credit for half-year courses. Students must submit a request for evaluation to the Admissions Office to have credit recorded in their records. Duplicate credit for other exams and concurrent college courses completed prior to completing the exam, will not be awarded.
General Education waivers are evaluated according to the current policy at the time the request is made for evaluation.

*A score of 2 on the Calculus AB or Calculus BC will waive the QA Requirement but no credit hours will be awarded.
**Effective Spring 2007 a score of 4 or higher on Enlgish Comp/Rdg, Comp/Lit, and Engl Language will be required to waive Writing 2010. A score of 3 will waive Writing 1010.
When a student has both AP and CLEP credit, AP is counted first and is considered as course work when evaluating General Education requirements. In addition, if college credit has been awarded and duplicates the AP course work, the AP credit will be reduced by the amount of credit previously earned.
When computing General Education Requirements, the entire area is waived with two Intellectual Exploration courses earned in one General Education area.
A student must be a matriculated student at the University of Utah to have AP credit recorded. AP scores and General Education waivers are evaluated according to the current policy at the time the request is made for an evaluation.
