Types of Transfer Credit

1. Advanced Placement (AP)

   •  Incoming First-Year students and Transfer students who score a 4 or a 5 on an AP Examination may receive academic credit for their scores.
   •  Should results be presented in academic disciplines or areas that are not part of the Denison curriculum, credit will be subject to departmental review and credit hours may or may not be assigned.
   •  Most courses for which credits are granted will not satisfy a general education requirement or major/minor requirement.
   •  Credit is usually given in the term in which scores are received or fall semester of the student’s first year at Denison University.
   •  The scores are not assigned a letter grade and will not be included in the grade point calculations.
   •  Incoming first-year students and transfer students should claim such earned Advanced Placement credit within the first semester of enrolling at Denison. Information for requesting an official AP grade report can be found on the College Board website. Denison's CEEB code is 1164.
   •  If a student wishes to take a course in which he has received AP credit, the AP credit must be deleted from the student’s record. Credit for a course can only be applied for graduation once.
