Advanced Placement (AP) is a program of the College Board and the Educational Testing Service whereby students may earn college credit for work completed in high school. Credit is granted automatically to students whose scores on AP examinations are 4 or 5. Credit is not granted to students whose scores are 1, 2 or 3. In special circumstances there may be a need for Hastings College to determine credit based on evaluation of the student’s free response booklet. Inasmuch as AP will not provide free response booklets directly to colleges and universities, students will need to request free response booklets from AP and then either send them or bring them to the Hastings College Academic Dean’s Office. The AP mailing address for this purpose is:

As of this writing, AP is charging $10.00 for each booklet requested. Students will be reimbursed for this amount when the booklet is received in the Dean’s Office. Following is a list of the AP examinations most frequently presented for college credit and the corresponding Hastings College courses in which credit is given. The grade on the transcript will be Px, which means “Passed by Examination.” Such grades are not computed in the grade-point average.
