From Undergraduate Engineering Handbook

Advanced Placement (AP) credits apply toward both the university 180-unit requirement and the School of Engineering requirements in Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, and Computer Science (see approval process below). AP credits can be applied only if the parallel Stanford courses are skipped. For example, a student cannot receive 10 units of AP mathematics credit and then enroll in MATH 41 or 42; to apply these AP units at Stanford, the first mathematics course taken must be beyond the MATH 40 series, typically MATH 51 or CME 100. AP credits in Chemistry and Physics are accepted as satisfying the School of Engineering Science requirement. Note that AP Physics C counts toward the Physics 40 series, whereas AP Physics B applies only to the non-calculus-based Physics 20 series (only CS and MS&E programs accept AP Physics B credit toward satisfying the science requirement). See the Stanford Bulletin for further details on AP policy.

[edit] Approval Process:

To receive approval for math and science AP credits, take your Program Sheet and a copy of your unofficial SU transcript to 135 Huang. Approval of Advanced Placement will be checked against what the Registrar's Office has recorded on your SU transcript, and will be indicated by our initials and date on the Program Sheet (bring in your current PS on file in your major department, not a copy) in the Transfer/AP Approval column (please do not write in these columns yourself).

Advanced Placement (AP) Credit can be applied toward requirements in your School of Engineering major program as follows:

[edit] IB or GCE or A-Levels

Stanford also awards advanced placement credit for certain International Baccalaureate (IB) and international advanced placement subject exams. Note that IB, GCE and A-Level Physics is equivalent to the 20-series, not to the calculus-based 40-series that is required for most School of Engineering majors (only CS and MS&E programs accept the 20-series as satisfying the physics science requirement).
