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.

Students seeking academic credit or a waiver of admission requirements for degree programs at the Anschutz Medical Campus need to contact the program directly.
