Does anyone know how Gettysburg College handles AP credits for transfer students? I'm hoping to transfer some of mine over and want to maximize the amount that will be accepted.
Gettysburg College typically honours AP credits as long as students have scored a 4 or a 5 on their AP exams. However, in the context of transferring, it's important to note that credit acceptance also hinges on the courses completed at your previous institution and how they align with Gettysburg's curriculum.
If you had received college credit for a particular subject at your previous institution due to your AP score, and that course aligns well with a course at Gettysburg, it’s likely you will be able to transfer that credit.
Gettysburg College has an extensive list detailing how different AP exams relate to their equivalent courses at the college. For a detailed understanding, I recommend contacting Gettysburg's Registrar's Office. They can provide a transcript audit and help guide you on how to potentially maximize your transferred credit.
Remember to provide them with a detailed record of the courses you’ve taken so they can provide you with the most accurate information. Good luck with the process!
