<p>As an upcoming freshman, If you missed out on AP credit by say getting a 3 instead of a 4, but community college accepts the 3, could you not claim the credit at community college and transfer it to UT?</p>
<p>You know, I ALWAYS wondered about that. Good question. I am going to a local University this summer for summer school and they accept my art history score while UT does not. I was wondering if I could claim it there, and then get it on my transcript and transfer to UT.</p>
<p>People have posted on here before that if you transfer in from a school that accepts the credit, and it is on the transcript of that school, you will get credit for the class. It is worth a try. :)</p>
<p>this page seems to give the answer</p>
<p>[Common</a> Transfer Credit Issues - Credit by Exam](<a href=“http://www.utexas.edu/student/admissions/ate/problems/cbe.html]Common”>http://www.utexas.edu/student/admissions/ate/problems/cbe.html)</p>
<p>but i think i need clarification. “Students with transfer credit originally awarded on the basis of a national test (AP, CLEP, IB, SAT Subject/SAT II, etc.) will not be granted credit-by-exam at UT Austin based on the same examination.” does this mean UT wouldnt award credit then?</p>
<p>i read that page too and i interpret that to mean for the same specific test, not AP in general. i wanted to see if anyone had tried this. one issue that might arise is when after sending the scores to the community college, we would have to make sure they only applied the scores we wanted and not all of them as that might cause an issue between the credit you have from a 4 or 5 at UT and the same one on the community college transcript.</p>
<p>btw, this can also apply to clep tests. whether you can take a clep at another college and transfer it in since UT doesn’t accept that many clep tests.</p>
<p>something else to consider is if you are thinking ahead to grad school is if the community college gives the option to assign an A for a 5, whether you should claim the credit at community college where you will have a A appear on the transcript rather than CR</p>
<p>When you transfer credit from a CC or similar to UT, it comes in as CR, not as the grade. It doesn’t affect your UT GPA.</p>
<p>It won’t impact your UT GPA, but when you apply to grad school, you will likely send them the official transcript from the CC, so that 5 = A on the CC transcript will be nice.</p>
<p>Depending on which AP test you want credit for, it may be easier to just take the CLEP exam. Say for example the foreign languages like Spanish or French.</p>
<p>anyone try this? old thread i know</p>
