Can I get credit for college courses, IB tests, or AP examinations? What about for concurrent enrollment (getting both high school and college credit for a course)?
Possibly. Credit decisions are made by department chairs. Individual departments administer their own placement examinations during Orientation each fall. Credit is given on a case-by-case basis, usually as a result of those placement exams. While we discourage students from repeating at HMC academic work they have already completed, we also want new students to succeed in a curriculum at HMC that is extremely rigorous. Credit is usually offered for AP exam scores of “5” on Statistics, or BC Calculus.
Credit is not granted for AP or IB results, but you may be able to receive credit for college courses you’ve taken, at the discretion of the department chair. Rather than simply relying on AP or IB scores for course placement, individual departments administer their own placement examinations during Orientation each fall. Credit is given on a case-by-case basis, usually as a result of those placement exams. While we discourage students from repeating at HMC academic work they have already completed, we also want new students to succeed in a curriculum that is extremely rigorous. We think placement exams at the start of the school year are the best way to ensure students are taking the appropriate courses given their preparation.
