Do you lose AP credit if you take classes at a CC? I mean for example, History credit if you take anything else.

Talk to the registrar at your college and be specific about the courses in question.

You will not get double credit for the same class from your 4 year college, if that’s your question.

If you take a different class at CC, the credit given, if any, is independent of AP credit.

It isn’t clear what you are asking.

Are you asking if you will lose your AP History credit if you take (for example) an intro Psych class at a CC? If that is your question, then no. Merely earning CC credit does not invalidate your AP tests. The next question is whether the college(s) you are considering even give credit for AP exams. Some do, some don’t.

Sorry my question wasn’t very articulate. @mikemac answered what I was asking.

The usual things to consider:

  1. If you take a course that covers similar content as the AP exam (e.g. introductory psychology and AP psychology), expect to get credit at most once.
  2. If you have AP credit while attending college A and later transfer to college B, college B will re-evaluate AP credit directly from the AP scores, not based on what college A evaluated the AP credit as.
  3. For any given college, an AP score may give none, some, or all of (a) credits toward the number of credits needed for graduation, (b) credit for a specific course or requirement, and/or © advanced placement into a higher level course.
