AP Advanced Placement

Although the Advanced Placement (AP) Examinations are not administered on the UTSA campus, many AP exams are accepted by UTSA for credit. Credit is awarded by the Office of Admissions on the basis of specified scores.

The AP Exams 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 exam 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 Exams may be exempt from taking courses that otherwise may be required of them.

The AP fee for 2011 is $87 per test.
