I'm planning to attend Hunter College and have several AP credits. How does the transfer process work for these? Do they count towards my degree requirements, and is there a maximum number of credits they'll accept?
Hunter College has a comprehensive policy regarding the acceptance of Advanced Placement (AP) credits. As of current policy, the college recognizes AP exams taken in high school, provided you've achieved a score of 4 or 5. Students with grades of 3 may also receive credit for corresponding courses or elective credit.
Regarding the question of whether the AP credits count towards your degree requirements, it depends on your intended major or program at Hunter. Some courses may count towards general education requirements, while others may count toward electives. It's advisable to discuss this with your academic advisor.
Hunter College, to the best of my knowledge, does not set a maximum limit on the number of AP credits they will accept. However, remember that not all credits may apply toward your specific degree program.
It's important to note that this information is based on general guidelines and the policies may vary slightly based on your specific circumstances. Therefore, I would recommend reaching out to the Registrar's Office at Hunter College for the most accurate and up-to-date answers regarding AP credit transfer policies. They can provide the most authoritative and precise information.
