Notes:

#AB subscore on Calculus BC examination - Students who take the Calculus BC examination and earn a subscore of 3 or higher on the Calculus AB portion will receive credit for the Calculus AB examination, even if they do not receive a score of 3 or higher on the BC examination.

Associate degrees: Students should be aware that AP test credit is evaluated by corresponding it to an equivalent Coastline College course. A student who receives AP credit and then takes the equivalent Coastline College course will have the unit credit for such duplication deducted prior to being awarded the Associate degree. Advanced Placement exam results and courses for which credit is granted will be posted on a student’s transcript, with units assigned and no grade.

CSU GE: The Advanced Placement examinations may be incorporated into the certification of CSU General Education-Breadth requirements by any certifying institution. All CSU campuses will accept the minimum units shown and apply them toward fulfillment of the designated General Education-Breadth area if the examination is included as part of a full or subject-area certification. Please note that individual CSU campuses may choose to grant more units than those specified toward completion of General Education-Breadth requirements.

IGETC: AP exams must be used in area indicated regardless of where the certifying CCC’s discipline is located.
