College Board Advanced Placement Examinations (CBAPE)

College Board Advanced Placement Examination (CBAPE)

These examinations are for students in high school. Upon receipt of an official score report from the College Board, the Office of Admissions and Records assigns a grade of “TST” and grants credit as specified below. A maximum of 60 semester credits may be earned in any combination of non-traditional learning examinations and applied towards a bachelor’s degree.

Note regarding Core Curriculum requirements- AP exam results for which course credit is awarded will satisfy the same Core requirements as the UNR course taken in residence, with the following exceptions:

AP exam results with equivalence to HIST 101 or PSC 101 satisfy only the U.S. Constitution component of CO8.
