Credit for Advanced Placement Programs
Mississippi University for Women will grant credit to students for a score of 3 or higher on the College Entrance Examination Board’s (CEEB) Advanced Placement Program offered through their high schools. Credit is not recorded until the student has registered for classes at The W. A $25.00 fee per course will be posted to the student’s account before AP credit is posted to the student’s transcript. Any acceptable AP score may be used as an elective credit, but only specific exams can fulfill university program requirements.
The W offers credit to students who score 3 or higher on the following Advanced Placement (AP) Subject Exams. To receive credit for AP exams, official scores must be sent to The W. A recording fee is required for each exam receiving credit.
