The Advanced Placement (AP) examination offers the possibility of establishing course credit at Bellin College. Many high schools offer courses through the AP program and Bellin College offers degree credit based on a student’s performance on the AP exam. The AP exam must be taken before entering the College and scores must be equivalent to a 3 or better. An official AP transcript from the College Board must be supplied to Bellin College in order to receive credit.
Students who receive credit for a particular AP course and take the same course at Bellin College will not receive degree credit twice. However, only the grade in the Bellin College course will be included in the overall grade point average. Credits for AP courses will appear on the Bellin College transcript as transfer (T grade) and must satisfy specific requirements. For a list of the current accepted Advanced Placement (AP) or similar exam credit policies, refer to Bellin College website.
