Advanced Placement (AP) credit is college credit that students earn before they matriculate as freshman and that counts towards the degree and degree requirements as specified by the individual college at Cornell.  Its primary purpose is to exempt students from introductory courses and to place them in advanced courses.  Its value is that it allows students to include more advanced courses in their courses of study.  For the most up to date accepted scores, placement, and credit information contact the CALS Registrar's Office.

Advanced Placement credit may be earned from the following:

• The requisite score from the Advanced Placement Examinations (AP exams) from the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) in Princeton, N.J.  The requisite scores, which vary by subject, are determined by the relevant departments at Cornell.
• Acceptable performance on a Cornell department exam (offered only in some subjects, usually during orientation).
• International credentials from "A" level or IB Examinations.
