Advanced Placement (AP) Credit
This chart represents academic credit that may be awarded to new freshmen or to new transfer students seeking initial academic credit through the Advanced Placement program administered by the College Board. To receive academic credit, students must present official AP scores sent directly to the Office of Admissions.
This chart represents academic credit for students admitted to the University of Colorado Denver beginning fall 2016. Students admitted prior to fall 2016 should consult the University Catalog corresponding to the year in which the exam was taken.
Credit awarded and course equivalency information in this table applies only to degree programs, including bioengineering, at the Denver Campus of the University of Colorado Denver. Students seeking academic credit or a waiver of admission requirements for degree programs at the Anschutz Medical Campus need to contact the program directly.
Academic credit is limited to either AP credit or CU Denver course credit when students elect to register and successfully complete courses identified in this table as equivalent or content substitution.
