ADVANCED PLACEMENT
The Advanced Placement Program of the College Entrance Examination Board permits high school students to take college‐equivalent courses while in high school and, based upon comprehensive qualifying examinations, receive advanced placement and credit at participating universities and colleges. This university grants credit toward its undergraduate degrees for successful completion of examinations of the Advanced Placement Program of the College Board. Students who present scores of three or better are granted from 3 to 6 semester units of college credit for each examination. In order to receive credit for these examinations from California State University, Fresno, students must request an official copy of their test results directly from the College Board. Their address is Advanced Placement Examination, PO Box 6671, Princeton, NJ. 08541‐6671. For more information, please contact the Evaluations Office at (559) 278‐4076 or in Joyal Adm., Bldg., Rm 115.
Credits earned through advanced placement are not included among the maximum of 30 units of credit by examination that may be credited toward a bachelor's degree.
