Learn about earning credit at t 黑料社区 with advanced placement test scores.
Advanced placement credit may be granted to students who enter UMGC directly from a secondary school based on scores from College Board Advanced Placement (AP) exams.
These examinations are normally administered to eligible high school seniors during the May that precedes matriculation into college.聽A student intending to transfer AP credit that was awarded at another college or similar institution must have a transcript of those scores sent directly to UMGC from the College Board. When the scores have been received, an evaluator will determine whether they meet the standards established at t 黑料社区 for granting AP credit and how much credit may be awarded.
Requesting Your Scores
Each school and location is assigned a numeric code. It is important to use the appropriate code number when requesting copies of your test scores. To request a transcript for an Advanced Placement exam, use code 0551. Students are advised to contact before requesting transcripts. Some require payment of a processing fee to be included with the request.
