I'm considering transferring to Rhodes College and want to know if they accept AP credits. I have a few AP classes from high school. Will these count toward my degree, or should I be prepared to retake some courses?
Rhodes College generally does accept AP credit, which can be applied toward your graduation requirements. However, the policies can be quite specific. To get credit, you typically need to have earned a score of 4 or 5 on your AP exams.
Credit is usually granted on a course-by-course basis, which means the relevance of your AP courses to your intended degree at Rhodes will be critical. For example, a 4 or 5 in AP Calculus would likely count towards a math requirement, but may not be as relevant if you're planning to major in English or History.
The definitive source for this information would be Rhodes College's Registrar's Office or the academic advising office. They should be able to provide the most up-to-date and accurate information about AP credit policies. Also, keep in mind that even if they accept your AP credits, it's possible that not all of the credits will be applicable to your intended field of study. Thus, it might be wise to touch base with a department advisor within your intended majors to ensure that your AP credits will actually count towards your requirements.
