University Board Advanced Placement Program (AP)
The Advanced Placement (AP) Program is sponsored by the University Board and offers secondary school students the opportunity to participate in challenging university-level course work with the potential of receiving university credit. The University of the Incarnate Word requires a minimum score of “3” for award of credit. Official score reports should be sent to the Registrar, who will evaluate the report and determine the amount of credit, based upon the recommendation by the discipline faculty, and grade to be awarded. In most cases, the ACE recommendation will be used. Students must complete the AP examination to receive credit. Credit will not be awarded for participation in an AP program without completion of the AP examination.
