<p>Alright, so I entered in Fall 2010 receiving AP credit for Calc I and II, but I decided to take Calc II again which turned out to be notoriously difficult, so I got a B-. When I checked my grades last semester, I received credit for Calc II and it was reflected in my GPA. But today, when I checked my transcript, my grade for Calc II shows up, but it doesn't seem as though I received credit. And thus, my GPA WENT UP!</p>
<p>I've heard that I was supposed to waive my AP credit should I take the course again, but I thought the system would do it automatically.</p>
<p>What should I do? I'm sorta ambivalent. On one hand, I'm sorta happy that my GPA went up, but I still want the college credit for calc II. Can I waive my AP credit for calc II?</p>
<p>Isn’t this something your faculty adviser or Association Dean would handle? I’m in admission and most of the members were aren’t UVa students. We don’t really have answers for you.</p>
<p>“Alright, so I entered in Fall 2010 receiving AP credit for Calc I and II”</p>
<p>If you received AP credit from UVa for these then they gave you college credits for them. Look at your unofficial transcript. It should say on there how many ‘college’ credits you earned for each of these. Basically, unless you do not waive your AP credit for a course the college does not allow you to double dip. Which in your case it did not, hence why you have a grade, but not credit for the course you just took because you were already granted credit from your AP. </p>
<p>If you still do not get this then by all means please do as Dean J suggested and see your advisor or speak with the registrar in the College of A&S.</p>
<p>I just got an upsetting private message by someone claiming that I’d be “lying by omission” if I don’t get this whole thing corrected.</p>
<p>But based woosah’s explanation, it doesn’t seem there’s much I can do and I really want to move on. Do I have to bring this up with the registrar?</p>
<p>First, my post did not imply there is nothing you can do. You misread what I was stating. Here is a link for UVa AP credit, scroll all the way to the bottom and look at frequently asked questions. Next, finding the answer to your specific situation will only be found by contacting the Association Dean. </p>
<p>I don’t understand why it would be your responsibility to fix a bug in SIS/etc. I mean, SIS is the program that should handle this. How it decides to award credit is up to it. If you did nothing, you would just be taking the default credit option when you have AP credit and take a class. My advisors have constantly told me that SIS is the final call on anything. Just my 2cents.</p>
<p>They may allow you to keep it as it is which would be like auditing the class, getting you ready for the next level. People do that. But basically you paid for a class that doesn’t really count toward graduation - but as enrichment or a refresher.</p>
