AP Advanced Placement
Although the Advanced Placement (AP) Examinations are not administered on the UTSA campus, several AP examinations are accepted by the UTSA’s Credit by Examination Program (Art, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, English, French, Geography, German, History, Mathematics, Physics, Political Science, Psychology, Spanish and Statistics). Credit is awarded by the Office of Admissions on the basis of specified scores.
The AP Examinations are offered once a year in May, usually in high schools that offer college-level courses based on AP course descriptions. The College Board mails reports of AP examination results in early July to institutions listed as recipients by examinees. (The College Board code for UTSA is 6919.) Students who score high enough on College Board AP Examinations may be exempt from taking courses that otherwise may be required of them.
The AP fee for 2006-2007 is $83 per test. The College Board prepares the AP Examinations test subject matter outlined in the AP course descriptions. Sample tests may be ordered for a fee from the Advanced Placement Program, CN 6670, Princeton, New Jersey 08541-6670 or you may visit their website at www.apcentral.collegeboard.com or http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/about.html.
