Overview

The College of Idaho welcomes highly motivated students and recognizes that many have earned college credit for courses completed prior to enrollment. At the same time, we value the participatory and rigorous nature of College of Idaho coursework. The College of Idaho accepts a combined total of up to 30 semester credits of Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate, credit known as alternative credit. (Another form of alternative credit, concurrent or dual enrollment, is not included in these credit limits.)

Students entering The College of Idaho with alternative credits are considered first-time students. Students must initiate the acceptance of alternative credits with the Registrar's Office. Credit toward program and/or graduation requirements will be determined on a course-by-course basis.
