AP Transfer Credits available on MyUCF

<p>I was able to view my D's Summary of Transfer Credit on MyUCF today by going to MyUCF - Student Records - Academic History - Transfer Credit Report.
Just thought I'd pass that info along in case anyone else is interested in checking theirs. I'm assuming any dual enrollment credits would show up there, too (my d didn't do any dual enrollment). The AP credits from this year and last year showed up.</p>

<p>That's a good thing to do. Last year when we looked that's how we discovered that not all my S's credits had shown up. We later found that somehow his AP record had been split, one with SS# and the other with AP ID. Apparently, according to the AP people this does happen, regretably, quite frequently. It was easy to fix, but it took a bit for the whole record to be blended together.</p>

<p>None of my AP credits are showing up on the transfer credit report. I specified UCF as the score recipient this year when I took my tests. Should I start calling people? Who do you think I call, UCF or Collegeboard?</p>

<p>Same thing here, none of my AP credits are showing up.</p>

<p>My daughters AP credit from last year is on her transfer credit report but not her CLEP from this May.</p>

<p>When I checked on Friday morning, my daughter's AP credits were not on there, but when I checked again yesterday (Sunday), they were, so check again before you call, but then I would definitely call UCF if they aren't showing up in a couple of days.</p>

<p>Mine was just posted on my UCF. I was hoping to see exactly what my score was though. It only says I'm getting credit for the one I took this year.</p>

<p>FWIW-
I just checked my son's transfer credits (one year in) and he had MORE credits from his AP than he did originally, including Physics 2048 AND 2049 AND labs. I'm pretty sure that he didn't have the 2049 originally.</p>

<p>Be careful taking classes that you thought you'd have AP credit for, but didn't. It may show up later. Fortunately, son wasn't going to take 2049 until this fall, so now he'll take another Gen Ed elective.</p>

<p>Also, as always, let me caution everyone about taking the highest calculus level allowed. My son had a 5 on the AP Calc BC, a 770 on the SAT math, and (ahem) he is REtaking Calc 3 this fall. Err on the side of caution. Please.</p>

<p>Son#3 will probably do very well on the Calc BC, if his AB score is any indication. He'll be starting with Calc 2 at the HIGHEST, and that's only if we can't talk him into Calc 1.</p>

<p>Good luck all you Knights!!!</p>

Mom2three, </p>

<p>This is one thing about UCF that's concerning me. I'm hearing anecdotely from several of my S's friends, as well as my S who had trouble with Calc I (never had trouble with a math class in his life), that kids are flunking calc right and left. I'm also talking about kids who've done well in AP Calc and gotten 4's and 5's on the exam. Several that I know are re-taking calc I, II or III, and it's gotten to the point it's almost crazy. Besides the fact there aren't enough calc teachers (S's was a physics teacher), what's up?</p>

<p>Zebes..
Darned if I know. I know that there was a language/accent issue in the spring. The Calc 3 prof for fall has a western sounding name, so that's to the good.</p>

<p>Son is going to be living in the math lab in the fall while retaking Calc III. Part of the problem may be that they DON'T use graphing calculators. Part may be that although they assign homework, they don't collect or grade it, so the 18 year old mind (just out of high school) thinks it must not be THAT important. HA!</p>

<p>I am certainly hoping that the second time will be the charm. It's not just UCF. I talked to other kids who were finishing freshman year, and many have the same tale to tell. </p>

<p>Maybe the Calc series is a "weeding out" class for some majors. I don't know. I do know that my son is VERY gifted in math, and that if he has the background, he should be able to be successful in calculus. Thus my warning on the AP credit thing. I really don't think 2 years of high school AP calculus prepared my son for college Calc 3, regardless of what the college board may think.</p>

<p>You can see the actual scores for your APs on Student self-service and scroll down to undergraduate application status (like when you were waiting to find out if you were in).</p>

<p>Don't know if all are up there, though... I'm waiting for 3 more to be posted. I hope that doesn't mean I didn't pass them.</p>

<p>Yep, mine is up there! (5!)</p>

<p>That's my only test though, so I don't know if failed tests appear or not. Good luck!</p>

<p>I wouldn't be so curious about it if I hadn't thought I had done really well on 2 of the 3 not posted. They were both really easy, but maybe deceptively so...</p>

<p>You guys are lucky, none of it is showing for me. Not even the 3 AP's I took last year. Hopefully the scores make their way to Miami tomorrow, better yet, my actual mailbox.</p>

<p>So how do these ap scores work? Do we get credit for the class regardless of wheter we take it? And what if we're already set to take the class, do we need to change that so its a more advanced level?</p>

<p>Also my sheet is missing two scores, ap calc AB and gov. The gov score might be missing because I got a 2, and the calc AB score might be missing because they only care about BC. Anyone got some insight on this issue?</p>

<p>If you got a 2 in Gov, you aren't going to get the credit. What did you get on Calc AB and BC? Basically, if you got a passing score, then you'll get credit for a class based on the AP chart they have. For example I scored a 3 in both AP Eng. Lit & Lang, but I'm going to only get credit for ENC 1101 based on the chart.</p>

<p>Here's the chart:</p>

<p>University</a> of Central Florida 2008-2009 Undergraduate Catalog - Advanced Placement Program (AP)</p>

<p>right, I just like to know that they got the score, then rejected it, as opposed to never getting the score in the first place.</p>

<p>And for the calc, I'm guessing the only bothered listing one because both would've given me the same credit.</p>

<p>Now here's my question, I'm already set to take MAC 2311 this fall, and that's the credit I get for my ap calc classes, so.. i'll basically have this credit twice? I still wanna take the class, since I wanna review all my calc, but I don't understand what will happen with the credits.</p>

<p>Blaze,</p>

<p>I think the best way to get your questions answered is to call or email the honors adviser. Because you're an honors student, it's much faster than trying to go through First Year Advising. When I called FYA, I was put on hold for 45 minutes until I gave up. I then called the honors adviser, left a message because he was on his lunch break, and got called back within the half hour.</p>

<p>The</a> Burnett Honors College Staff</p>

<p>^^^
Ask to speak with Rex at Burnett. He's generally very good for any and all scheduling questions. When you get closed out of a class for some reason, i.e. UCF hasn't recorded your prereqs (can you tell this happened to my S, geesh), he can't help you over-ride unless it's an honors course you are trying to get into, but he can get you connected with the best person who can. Much better than just going back and forth through FYA. He's also used to dealing with kids with a lot of AP's, so he's more likely to understand all the pertaining info.</p>

<p>Thanks and done. Rex's email is <a href="mailto:rsrobert@mail.ucf.edu">rsrobert@mail.ucf.edu</a> if anyone needs it. Luckily he had sent me an email a few monthes ago, so I just pulled the address from there.</p>
