Counselors should advise students that the College Board reports all AP test results to the University. Students may not choose which test scores they wish reported. Students should be aware that college courses taken prior to or after enrolling at the University may duplicate the content of AP examinations. In these cases, the University may not award credit for both the course and the AP exam. The University grants credit for Advanced Placement tests.
Credit is expressed in quarter units.
For Berkeley, divide by 1.5 to convert to semester units. Credit awarded for advanced placement tests is described by campus on the following pages. Even if subject credit or credit toward specific requirements is not mentioned in the campus lists, students receive University credit as described above for all AP tests on which they score 3 or higher. The unit maximums noted in the box for subjects with more than one examination apply in all schools and colleges at all campuses. Space does not permit discussion of how AP credit is granted for each program, so students should be advised to thoroughly investigate this area.
