Can AP credits from Bergen Community College transfer?

I'm attending Bergen Community College and I've earned some AP credits. I want to know if these credits can be transferred to another college or if there’s a specific process I should follow. Any advice or experiences?

Sure, AP scores can indeed be transferred from one institution to another. When you're looking to transfer, it's crucial to keep in mind that AP credit policies depend on the receiving institution's guidelines. The college or university you're considering transferring to will have its own policy on accepting AP credits. So, their record of your AP scores will be more important than Bergen Community College's record.

To transfer these credits, typically, you would provide the new institution with an official copy of your AP scores directly from College Board. This is done by requesting your AP score report to be sent to the receiving university. When it comes to the timing of transferring AP credits, it's often best to do this as soon as possible after being admitted to ensure timely processing and credit recognition.

Another aspect to consider is the score you received on your AP Exam. Many colleges require a score of 4 or 5 on the AP exam to accept it as college credit. However, some may also accept a 3. It's crucial to check the specific score requirements with the receiving university's admissions office or AP credit policy page.

It's always good to speak to an academic advisor or someone from the registrar's office at your prospective college about the credit transfer process to ensure you're following the correct protocol and timeline for your specific case. They may also be able to provide you with a more accurate idea of how your AP credits will apply towards your intended degree at the new institution.
