Advanced Placement Credit: Application to College and Major Requirements, 2021–22 The University of California grants credit for most College Board Advanced Placement Tests (AP) on which a student scores 3 or higher. The credit may be subject credit for use on a minor or prerequisite to a major, or credit toward general-education requirements or elective units toward graduation. The number of units granted for AP tests are not counted toward the maximum number of credits required for formal declaration of an undergraduate major. Students who enter the university with AP credit do not have to declare a major earlier than other students, nor are they required to graduate earlier. A student cannot receive credit for a UC San Diego course that duplicates AP credit. Where the chart says “exempt” or “equal to a UC San Diego course number,” that course may not be taken for credit. Students who are fluent in a language other than English that was not their high school language of instruction should not overlook the opportunity to get AP credit by taking the foreign language/literature exams. Students should be advised that college courses taken before or after attending UC might duplicate AP examinations. Additionally, exams might duplicate each other (for example, an AP or IB exam in the same subject area*). If the student does duplicate an exam with another exam of the same subject content, and/or an exam with a college course, credit will be awarded only once. Note: Please see a college academic adviser for clarification of any questions you may have. Credit and/or placement listed is based on 2020–21 exams.
