Frequently Asked Questions
Will I receive credit for a course I take at the University if I already have Advanced Placement credit for it, or if I have been exempted without credit?
No. If you take such a course here, you must waive your Advanced Placement credit. If you have placed out of a course (without having received credit), you may not take that course for degree credit. Consult your Association Dean during Fall Orientation about special circumstances.
How can I apply the AP credits I earned before coming to U.Va. and how can I apply my SAT II test scores?
Based upon your standardized test scores (SAT II Tests, AP Tests, A-level, and IB exams), University of Virginia foreign language exam scores, transfer credit from other universities, and/or dual enrollment credit, you are in the position to take more advanced courses and perhaps graduate in less than 8 semesters. AP test scores and dual enrollment courses taken PRIOR to matriculation may count toward fulfilling the College’s area requirements.
You must make sure that the College has your test scores and transcripts as soon as possible, although you may have them added after you arrive. If your Faculty Advisor has no record of your test scores when you meet during Fall Orientation, stop by Garrett Hall and speak with Mrs. Gates (Room 211-C) or Mrs. Updike (Room 102). |
