Advanced Placement Credit Equivalencies
(Updated Spring 2016)
Advanced Placement (AP) Program credit is offered under the auspices of the College Entrance Examination Board

made through the high school in which the student is enrolled.
Students, including transfer students, interested in receiving Advanced Placement credit from Cleveland State should
have their official score report sent directly from the College Board to the Office of the University Registrar.
