Advanced Standing (AP, IB, British General Certificate, CLEP, Military Credits, College Credits Completed in High School)
New Transfer Students & Incoming Freshmen
Advanced Placement (AP): College credit will be awarded to incoming students based on their AP Coursework & AP Examination completed while in High School. Credit is awarded in all subjects for Exam scores of 4 and 5; for a complete listing of how AP credits transfer toward your Manhattanville degree, view the AP Subject List.
British General Certificate: Six semester hours of credit (for a maximum of 28 credits) for each Advanced (“A”) level examination of the British General Certificate of Education for which the student received a grade of C or better.
International Baccalaureate (IB): College credit will be awarded to incoming students based on their IB Coursework. Credit is awarded for courses completed at the Higher Level with scores of 5, 6, and 7; a maximum of 18 IB credits may be awarded.
College Level Examination Program (CLEP): College credit will be awarded to incoming students based on the CLEP Exam results. Credit is awarded in accordance with the American Council on Education (ACE) recommended guidelines. A student may earn a maximum of 12 credits from the CLEP Exam, and is only eligible to earn these credits at the time of matriculation. Students seeking to earn CLEP credit after enrolling at the College will NOT be awarded credit, regardless of Exam results.
Matriculated students in the Adult Accelerated Bachelor of Science program should call (914) 323-5446 or email postbacc@mville.edu to earn CLEP credit.
Military Credits: Manhattanville College will award credit for military education based on the guidelines presented by the American Council on Education (ACE). Students must present a military transcript – AARTS (Army), SMART (Navy and Marine) and CCAF (Air Force) – and credits will be awarded by the Registrar’s Office. Military coursework may be equated to equivalent Manhattanville courses, but in most cases students will be awarded general, non-liberal arts credit which can be applied to their 120-credit graduation requirement. Students should consult the appropriate department chairperson should they wish to apply military credits toward major and/or minor requirements.
College Credits Completed in High School: Incoming Freshmen who have earned college credit while enrolled in high school may have these credits transferred to Manhattanville and applied to their degree requirements. Courses must be comparable to Manhattanville offerings and either taken at an accredited institution or completed at a high school under the oversight of an accredited institution. All college coursework taken as a high school student must be recorded on an official college transcript and must carry a minimum grade of C-.
Deposited students are instructed to have all official college transcripts, AP Transcript, IB Transcripts, CLEP Transcripts, and Military Transcripts mailed to the Registrar's Office.
