Advanced Standing and Credit by Examination
Students who have achieved a grade of 4 or 5 on an Advanced Placement Test of the College Entrance Examination Board may receive 3 to 6 credits per test toward their Manhattanville degree. If students wish to use these credits toward fulfillment of major requirements, they should consult the Registrar’s Official webpage for equivalencies. Students who have taken college courses while in high school may receive credit if the course is reported on a college transcript at a level of C- or above. The College will grant six semester hours of credit (for a maximum of 28 credits) for each examination taken at the Advanced (“A”) level of the British General Certificate of Education on which the student received a grade of C or better. Also, six semester hours of credit (for a maximum of 18 credits) will be granted for each Higher Level Examination in the International Baccalaureate Program on which a student has earned a score of 5, 6, or 7. Students may be granted at the time of matriculation a maximum of 12 semester hours of credit through subject examinations of the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). Students who intend to transfer credits for courses taken at international institutions are required to provide evaluation reports (translated and verified with grade equivalencies) from agencies that prepare Foreign Academic Credential Evaluations (FACES). The evaluation must examine and equate all course work on a “course-by-course” basis and include grading equivalents to US colleges. Evaluators charge to have an evaluation prepared.
