Credit for AP courses at UVM?

<p>I tried reading the grid on UVM's website, but it was a little cryptic. If you get at least a 4, does UVM give you credit? Or do they just allow you to take a higher level class? Or does it depend on whether the AP course is in your major or not? UVM is kind of pricey, so if they give real credit for AP courses that may help with the cost of college there.</p>

<p>Good question. I hadn’t thought of that as a means to bring down the cost of UVM. My assumption was that the APs may help to give college credit to some of the general education requirements but not to major requirements. That seems to be standard at most of the colleges where my son applied.</p>

<p>If you score a 4 or a 5, you get credits or the corresponding course. A score of 3 is accepted for some AP tests.</p>

<p>Thanks charlesmyboy! Did you yourself receive credit from UVM for an AP class? Do you know of anybody that shaved a semester’s worth of classes off their 4 years at UVM with AP credits?</p>

<p>Yes, my daughter was considered a sophomore by the beginning of 2nd semester Freshman year due to AP credits.</p>

<p>momb2k- I was accepted but am most likely not attending. It looks as though I could get AP credit, but I don’t personally have enough to get me sophomore status.</p>

<p>Since you can take up to 18 credits per semester, there is also the option of combining AP credits with a larger course load. This would potentially allow you to graduate in three years.</p>
