Can students receive academic credit for AP exams? What about college courses taken during high school?
Yes, students can receive academic credit for an AP exam on which they scored a 3 or higher. In order to process these credits, the student should bring an official score report to the Academic Advising Center if the scores were not sent with the original admissions materials. If a student is unsure of whether or not he or she has received credit for an AP, the student can check his/her transcript on MyLesley or schedule a meeting with his/her academic advisor. Some high schools have partnerships with local colleges or universities and offer college-level classes to high school students. Students may be able to receive Lesley credit for these courses, provided that they received a grade of “C” or higher. Please see the Advising Center for more information. Students need a course description and an official transcript from the college or university in order to receive Lesley course credit.
