<p>Can one transfer AP credits taken during college? Has anyone ever done this?</p>
<p>You can’t take AP credits during college, you need to be a HS student to take the test.</p>
<p>Really? Do you have a source for this?</p>
<p>I dunno, when you fill out the form when you take the AP exam, I seem to remember a lot of questions regarding your high school, and I don’t recall any mention of college. </p>
<p>Though I still think colleges offer you some way of testing out of classes while you’re enrolled there… just might not be the AP.</p>
<p>I assume you want to earn AP credits by taking the exam, not by taking a course.</p>
<p>This is a difficult one to “source,” as the CB never really says “you cannot take an AP course in college” explicitly, as it’s hard to imagine why someone would want to take it. Colleges will not grant credit, as one a student graduates high school, they no longer qualify for the “advanced” part of Advanced Placement.</p>
<p>However, the following will give hints:
- Students have to list their HS for the grades, with the exception being the home-schooled who will indicate the state home-schooled code. There is no provision for listing a college.
- Being a college student is not an option on the registration package.
- You can take the same AP exam four years in a row-every year you are in high school – again, it doesn’t say outright you can’t take a fifth exam your first year in college, but…</p>
<p>Well, I had a similar question to yours, so I send them an e-mail asking them about whether I could take AP exams after high school, and this is what the message said</p>
<p>"Thank you for contacting AP Services. In accordance with AP Policy, teachers, department chairs, tutors, individuals involved in test preparation services, and educators of any kind (including but not limited to, curriculum specialists, guidance counselors, and administrators) are prohibited from taking or reviewing the content of an AP Exam.</p>
<p>College and post-high school students should consider taking the CLEP exam instead. For details of the CLEP program, visit their web site at: [About</a> the College Level Examination Program (CLEP)](<a href=“http://www.collegeboard.org/clep/]About”>Earn College Credit with CLEP – CLEP | College Board) </p>
<p>College and post-high school students may take the AP exam only if they can find a high school willing to admit them. Only the college can let you know whether or not you can obtain credit for an AP exam. Students register for the AP exams through their high school. If you want to take an AP Exam, you must locate a school willing to test you. Once you locate a school willing to administer the exams, that school’s AP Coordinator is responsible for ordering your exam materials, telling you when and where to appear for the exams, and collecting your fees (which he or she may negotiate to recover additional proctoring or administration costs). Please contact the AP Coordinator about financial aid information. </p>
<p>Bear in mind, the schools are not obligated to accommodate you. A photo ID is required for students not known personally by the school administrators. </p>
<p>Each school sets their own registration deadlines. For that reason, we suggest you contact the AP Coordinator no later than March 1, 2010. You may contact us in February 2010 from Monday through Friday between 8 AM and 4:45 PM EST toll free at 888-225-5427. Our toll number is (609) 771-7300. We also accept e-mail inquiries, but you must provide a zip code for the area in question. </p>
<p>Thank you for your inquiry. We appreciate the opportunity to assist you. If you have additional questions about this issue, please do not hesitate to write us again. Your e-mail should include all previous messages you have received about this issue so we can provide the best possible service." </p>
<p>Sincerely, AP Services</p>
<p>uh, yeah, from my experience, as long as you dont live in the middle of nowhere, its not that hard to find a high school willing to admit you (local state uni sends some students to my school). however, from what i know, some colleges wont give you credit after you matriculate and some do (cant be more specific than that, sorry). check with wherever youre going.</p>
<p>Thank you guys, this has been immensely helpful. I will e-mail my school and see if they would accept credit in this fashion! I will report back, since my school is pretty “average” (i.e. a good, but not elite, public university) so it may be useful to more than just myself.</p>
<p>Regarding the CLEPs, although they are awesome, from my experience, there are quite a few schools that do not accept the test. </p>
<p>I wish APs were allowed after high school. I would love to just get my physics and chem credit from APs. Thats a full semester right there… And thousands of dollars…</p>
<p>Haha, I go to a state school that is quite generous with APs/CLEP. I am a sophomore because I had so many AP credits :P</p>
<p>what exactly happens if you need (for example) 30 credits/year, but ur univs AP chart suggests that uve made more than that?</p>
