Advanced Placement (AP) Credit

Students who receive scores of three or higher on College Board Advanced Placement tests for which the college offers an equivalent course may be awarded the appropriate credit at Athens Technical College. Applicants must have official test scores mailed directly from the College Board to Athens Technical College. Students should direct questions to registration@athenstech.edu about credit for AP courses. This credit is designated as TR on the transcript, is included in a student’s earned hours, and is not calculated into the student’s grade point average.

The following policy will be used concerning the transfer of credit for AP exams:

• AP English Language and Composition – transfer score of 3 or higher as ENGL 1101 http://aphighered.collegeboard.org/exams/english/english-language
• AP English Literature and Composition – transfer score of 3 or higher as ENGL 1102 http://aphighered.collegeboard.org/exams/english/english-literature

In situations where students have taken one of the two exams and have then taken another freshman composition class at the college level, ATHENS TECHNICAL COLLEGE will award students both ENGL 1101 and ENGL 1102, regardless of which AP exam and freshman composition class the student took.
