Advanced Placement
Students who complete the Advanced Placement (AP) program
in High School may be eligible for college credit if the
appropriate score was earned on The College Board national
examination. Where appropriate, AP credit may apply toward
the general education distribution requirements of any program
at Clark College. However, students intending to transfer
with an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science-Transfer
degree should consult with the Admissions Office at the baccalaureate
institution of their choice for information on AP
credit policies. Not all institutions recognize AP credit posted
to the Clark College transcript. A maximum of fifteen (15)
credits in AP coursework can apply to the Associate in Arts or
the Associate in Science Transfer programs. Refer to Section B
of the Clark College catalog for additional restrictions by program.
| Procedure for Requesting AP Credits |
You
should have an official copy of your AP scores sent to Clark College, Attn: Credential Evaluations/MS #21B, 1933 Fort Vancouver Way, Vancouver, WA 98663. Once scores are received
and reviewed, a letter will be sent to you regarding the status
of your AP scores. If the scores meet the minimum standards, a petition
form will also be sent. You will need to complete the petition form,
pay a $5.00 transcription fee at the Cashier’s
Office, and submit both the petition form and receipt of
payment to the Welcome Center in PSU 002. AP credits are posted
to the transcript at the end of the quarter.
