Can I get Credit for AP, IB, or Transfer Courses?

Students often approach advisors to find out whether they can get credit for work done prior to matriculation. This includes advanced placement exams, international baccalaureate programs, and coursework completed at previous institutions. While advisors can help students explore this topic, essentially this is a question for the Registrar’s Office which is the ultimate arbiter of issues related to transcripts and transfer credit.
