Students who
have taken the College Board Advanced Placement Examinations may be eligible
for advanced placement and appropriate credit. Scores of 3, 4 or 5 may
result in credit or exemption. Academic departments have determined which
scores result in credit or exemption for their subject. Some departments
require the student to discuss their scores with the department chair before a
credit determination is made. Refer to
the following list for specifics.
No more than
the equivalent of twenty (20) Macalester credit hours may be earned from at a
college or university prior to matriculation at Macalester. Summer session
college credits, Minnesota Post-Secondary Education Options Program credits,
International Baccalaureate credits, and Advanced Placement Program credits are
included under this limitation. (The only exception to this limitation applies
to students who have achieved the equivalent of twenty-four (24) Macalester
credit hours solely through College
Board Advanced Placement Examinations.)
Credit earned
through Advanced Placement Exams cannot be used to meet the college’s general
distribution requirements, and grades are not factored into the grade point
average.
Questions
about Advanced Placement policies should be addressed directly to the
Registrar’s Office.
