Advanced Placement Examination (AP)




Fairmont State recognizes certain examinations of the College Board Advanced Placement Program. Students who participate in the AP program and wish to have their scores evaluated for credit should have their scores sent to Fairmont State. The AP examinations are prepared by the College Board, and the papers are graded by readers of the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, NJ 08540. Students cannot receive credit for a score below 3 on any exam. Students who do receive credit will be assigned the grade of CR, which is not calculated into the GPA.

Students will not be awarded multiple credit, standing or GPA based on duplicated advanced placement scores, tests or transfer work.
