<p>According to the USC Honors College [url=<a href=“South Carolina Honors College - South Carolina Honors College | University of South Carolina ”>South Carolina Honors College - South Carolina Honors College | University of South Carolina ]Handbook[/url</a>], AP credit may be counted to honors program course requirements after earning a B+ or higher grade in an Honors College course in the same subject.</p>

University of South Carolina Honors Handbook:
3.4 Honorization: Credits earned by advanced placement (IB, CLEP, etc.) tests are not by themselves “Honors” credits. However, they may be counted toward the total number of Honors credits required to graduate with honors—and toward the progression requirements for maintaining good standing in the College—by means of “honorization.” In order to “honorize” advanced placement biology credits, for example, a student must earn a “B+” or better in an Honors College course in the same or related discipline. These Honors course credits “honorize” the advanced placement credits. In the same fashion, students transferring to the Honors College may honorize college-level work completed before entering the Honors College. Note: This policy reflects internal accounting only; “honorized courses” are not so indicated on the student’s transcript.

<p>So if he gets, for example, a B+ or higher in one Honors College English course, he could count AP credit in English to the Honors College course requirements.</p>
