Advanced Placement (AP) Exam Information
Blinn College District will accept hours for credit by examination earned through the College Board Advanced Placement Program (AP) and the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). The Blinn College District Office of Admissions and Records evaluates all AP/CLEP transfer credits. There is no charge for this service.
The following are the parameters for awarding credit:
- The Blinn College District will award a maximum of 30 semester credit hours by examination.
- Students must present evidence of completion with acceptable scores of AP/CLEP exams along with a completed application for credit.
- A grade of "CR" will be awarded on transcripts for credits awarded by exam.
- The request for credit may be made at any time while the student attends the Blinn College District but will not be awarded if the student has attempted, is enrolled in, or has completed the course for which credit is being sought.
- Credit earned by examination may not be used to meet the minimum 25% residence requirement for a degree or certificate.
- Students should understand that each college and university has its own policy with respect to credit earned by examination and that any such credit allowed by one institution may not necessarily be accepted by another.
