Can AP credits from Montgomery College transfer?

I'm wondering if the AP credits I earn can transfer when I move from Montgomery College to a four-year university. Does anyone know how this process works and which credits might be eligible?

When it comes to transferring AP credits, the process generally depends on the policies of the four-year institution to which you're transferring, not the community college. So yes, your AP credits can typically transfer from Montgomery College to a four-year institution, but the details will depend on the four-year college's guidelines.

To determine if your AP credits will be accepted and how they will be applied, you'll want to refer to the receiving institution's AP credit policy. This policy will outline what score you need on each AP exam to earn college credit and how those credits will be applied (ie. general education credit, credit towards your major, elective credit, etc).

Remember, in some cases, colleges might not accept certain AP tests for credit, or they might only accept them for elective credits, while others might also count towards general education or major requirements depending on the score.

Additionally, you might want to reach out directly to the four-year institution or consult with an academic advisor at Montgomery College. They can guide you through the process and offer specific advice based on your academic plans and the transfer institution's policies.

One more tip: keep your AP score reports handy, as the four-year institution may require them for credit. This way, you'll have the documentation readily available when you need to show proof of the credits you've earned.
