Do incoming freshmen need to send in official AP scores for Collegeboard for credit?

<p>I don't remember sending in official AP scores on my UT application, even though they were listed on the transcript that my school sent. If we want to claim credit for AP exam scores next year as a college freshman, do we need to send in official score reports through Collegeboard? If so, when should we do this by, since this year's scores won't come out until July?</p>

<p>You can have the scores sent to UT, but claiming credit for those scores is a separate process. However, you may not want to claim the credit (see below) and should probably wait until you speak with an academic advisor.</p>

<p>"How do I get credit for my AP or IB classes?read moreIf you want to claim credit for college coursework as a result of AP tests or IB exams taken while you were in high school, you must have an official score report sent to UT Austin. Once your score report arrives and you’re admitted, you’ll have to complete an online process to claim the credit. However, because there can be negative consequences for claiming college credit that you may not need to earn a degree, you should speak with your academic advisor about claiming credit for any AP or IB exams you’ve taken.
