Hey everyone! I'm a high school junior considering Montgomery College, and I've taken a few AP classes. How does Montgomery College handle AP credit transfers? Do you know if they have specific policies for certain AP courses?
Montgomery College, like many other colleges, does accept AP credits. The scores they'll accept and the corresponding credits can vary depending on the specific AP course. Here's a little bit more about their process:
Montgomery College generally recognizes and grants credit for AP scores of 3, 4, or 5. This creates an opportunity for you to be able to jumpstart your college credits, even before setting foot on campus. For example, if you scored a 4 or 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam, you'd likely be granted credit for two math courses.
However, it's essential to know that how these credits will be applied can depend on the requirements of your specific degree program. For instance, if you're pursuing a program in the Humanities, a high AP score in Chemistry might not count toward your major requirements but could count as an elective credit.
Given the complexity of the process, I highly recommend that you reach out to the Admissions Office at Montgomery College or a college counselor. They'll be able to help you with specific AP courses and guide you in mapping out how these credits will affect your course selection and degree completion path.
Remember, each college has its own set of rules and regulations regarding AP credits, so always check directly with the institutions you'll be applying to, to understand these policies in more detail. Good luck with your planning process!
