<p>I'm a little confused about the AP credit policy.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.utexas.edu/academic/mec/cbe/cutape.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.utexas.edu/academic/mec/cbe/cutape.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>It will list the AP score and credit awarded and after some it will say <i>CR</i> and others it will not. It says at the bottom that CR means credit only. I'm not sure but I'm guessing this means you do not get a grade for that class, just a credit. </p>

<p>When I look at the majors for the b-school it says at the top "ALL CLASSES MUS T BE TAKEN FOR A GRADE UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED". Does this mean those CR only classes can not be used toward the major requirements?</p>

<p>You can only receive course credit for AP and CLEP tests. UT stopped awarding grades for AP and CLEP tests in September 2006. </p>

<p>When the b-school requires that "All classes must be taken for a grade unless otherwise noted", it means that you may not take classes at UT on a pass/fail basis. Credits received for AP and CLEP tests will still count.</p>

<p>Thanks I thought that would never get answered!!</p>

<p>One last thing, do you know if you claim credit for an AP class but hten decide you want to take it, if that will be a problem?</p>

<p>Once you claim AP credit for a course, you can take the course but you will not get credit for it. If you are in doubt, don't claim credit for it. You can claim AP/CLEP credit as late as your last semester.</p>
