1 Prehealth students should consult with their College Advisor before receiving AP credit for Biology, Chemistry or Math.
2 English: Literature and Composition –If you score a 4 or better on the examination in Literature and Composition, you will receive three credits for ETS 151. Should you subsequently elect to take ETS 151, you will be able to transfer the credit to one of the following: ETS 152, 153, 117 or 118. In addition you will also receive three credits for WRT 105 for a total of six credits.
3 Students cannot be awarded credit for both MAT 295 and for MAT 285-286. While MAT 295 is usually the most appropriate choice, speak to your faculty/academic advisor about which is appropriate for your program.
4 Credit not awarded for both Calculus BC exam and its AB subscore.
If you decide to take the equivalent Syracuse University course for which you have been awarded Advanced Placement or Transfer Credit, the AP or Transfer Credit WILL BE DELETED and you will lose the credit. If you have questions, contact Advising and Career Services in 323 Hall of Languages.
