AP Correspondence Chart

  • Students may earn a maximum of eight course units from a combination of credit by exam (such as AP or IB) and college courses (dual credit) taken while completing high school. A maximum of four of those eight course units can qualify for Shared Curriculum credit. Each successfully transferred AP score is equal to one unit. These limits do not apply to students who complete an Associate's Degree prior to graduating from high school.

  • In order to receive Shared Curriculum credit for Advanced Placement exams, the student must have successfully completed the courses associated with the exams and the score on the Advanced Placement exam must be a four or five.

  • Course electives for AP credit will show as 1TR (Transfer elective) on the IWU academic record. For example, AP ART History will be listed as ART 1TR for 1 unit.
