<p>I know that UF has a cap on the number of AP/IB credits you can bring in, and I just have a few questions about it.
1. Does the same cap apply to honors?
2. Does UF make you take the same class over again, or place you in an advanced class when there is a class you have ap credit for but have not transferred?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>The cap at UF for AP/IB credits is 30 credit hours
I believe that is the rule for all incoming freshmen UF students
I'm not sure about number two, but I think you will probably have to take the same class over again...but I don't really know.</p>
<p>Your highschool transcript will show all the honors, IB, AP, and regular classes you took and UF will use all those when figuring your GPA (UF has its own formula and it may be different from your highschool.) Your UF ISIS transcript will show the scores from all the AP, IB, and CLEP exams you took, but you can only use 30 credits toward your college hours/degree. Your advisor can meet with you and decide which credits you should use when you have earned more than 30 from tests. Usually some of the credits you earned aren't required for your major and those are the ones you don't use. They can go back in and swap them out later if needed. Normally you wouldn't repeat a course you had earned credit in, but sometimes in a series (like CHM2045 - 2046 or CALC 1 - 2) they will recommend that both courses be taken at UF unless you are really strong in those areas or received credit for both.</p>
<p>Additionally, you can take UF placement exams to determine what level Chemistry, Math/Calculus, and foreign language courses are appropriate.</p>
<p>There is a limit of 30 credits you can bring in by examination.</p>
<p>However, you can bring 60 with dual enrollment.</p>
<p>I start this year with 44 credits! :)</p>
<p>As to # 2, it all depends on your major. If you are a Science Major, for example, UF would PREFER that you take their science classes, since you might not be "fully prepared" for the next level of class. </p>
<p>I know a bunch of people who took AP Calc and are retaking MAC2311 because they felt they could use the background of Calc 1 before moving on to Calc 2, 3. UF advisers prefer this as well. They just don't want to see you mess up your GPA early on.</p>
<p>As a Pre-Pharmacy Major, the highest math I needed was Calc 1, took it dual enrollment, and am done with math completely. :)</p>
