I'm looking into transferring some of my AP credits to Union College and could use some help. Does anyone know how their system works and which credits might be accepted?
Sure, I can help with that! Union College accepts AP scores of 4 or higher and awards college credit accordingly. The AP credit can fulfill general education requirements, count as electives, or in some cases, count toward major requirements based on the specific department policy.
For example, a score of 4 or 5 in AP Calculus BC can earn you credit for Calculus I and II. Similarly, a score of 4 or 5 in AP Chemistry gives you credit for General Chemistry I and II. On the other hand, for AP History courses, a score of 4 or 5 earns you credit, but it won't automatically exempt you from corresponding history courses at Union.
You would need to contact the respective academic departments for the most accurate information, as policies might vary. It's also important to know that colleges typically have a limit for how much credit they will accept through APs, and Union College is no exception. The Union registrar or your academic advisor should be able to provide you with the most accurate information.
In addition to AP credits, Union College also recognizes certain International Baccalaureate (IB) scores and selected college courses taken during high school.
Always it's recommended to consult with an academic adviser or the registrar’s office when considering transferring credits to ensure accurate understanding of policy and to make sure you're getting the most out of your AP classes. Remember, policies can change, so it's always a good idea to check the latest information.
