Can students fulfill academic requirements with previous coursework?
Students cannot receive credit for coursework completed before matriculation, but Harvard offers an Advanced Standing Program to entering students who meet certain standards on the College Board Advanced Placement (AP) examinations or who have earned the full International Baccalaureate diploma with grades of 6 or 7 on at least three Higher Level examinations. Admitted students who matriculate with strong results on the GCE A-levels – or on other internationally recognized examinations, such as the Abitur or French Baccalaureate – may submit their credentials to the Advanced Standing adviser in the Freshman Dean’s Office for individual evaluation.
