I'm planning to attend a community college in Seattle and hope to transfer to Seattle Pacific University. Can someone tell me which community colleges are good at transferring AP credits to SPU?
Seattle Pacific University (SPU), like many other institutions, has its own policy when it comes to accepting AP (Advanced Placement) credits. The good news is that SPU generally accepts a score of 4 or 5 on AP exams for equivalent college credit.
As for community colleges, the transmission of AP credits is typically less about the college you attended and more about the four-year institution to which you're transferring. This means that whether you attend Seattle Central College, North Seattle College, or South Seattle College, your AP credits should be recognized by SPU the same way, given you have scores that meet their requirements.
You can confirm this information by reaching out to the transfer admissions office at SPU. They can provide additional clarity on their AP credit transfer policies. You should also meet with an advisor at the community college you plan to attend. They can help guide you in selecting courses that will transfer smoothly to SPU.
Remember to keep a copy of your AP score report, as SPU may require a direct copy from the College Board for credit consideration. Overall, the key is ensuring your AP scores meet SPU's standards and properly communicating these scores during your application process.
