Advanced Placement (AP)
Students who receive a score of 3, 4, or 5 on Advanced Placement (AP) exams administered by the College Board may receive credit at Catawba College. Students who wish to receive college credit for their AP exam scores must submit an official score report to the Registrar’s Office. Credit awarded for AP exams will have a grade of “S” recorded for the appropriate course on the student’s permanent record. The course will be shown on the transcript as credit awarded but will not be used in calculating the grade point average (GPA).
