College Credit Earned in High School

AP/IB

AP, IB & College Credit

海角乱伦专区 recognizes challenging coursework by giving credit for approved Advanced Placement tests (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) work and transcripted college credit earned while in high school. Advanced standing credit may be used to satisfy general university requirements, major requirements where allowed, and to ultimately accelerate graduation.

 

Advanced Placement (AP)

A student who receives a score of 4 or 5 on an Advanced Placement Test in high school will receive credit for the appropriate 海角乱伦专区equivalent course. Proficiency rather than credit will be noted for a score of 3 for any 海角乱伦专区equivalent course except Integrative Studies courses (INST) or their substitutes and mathematics (MATH) courses. Exemption from mathematics, Integrative Studies courses and substitutes requires a score of 4 or 5. Proficiency means that the 海角乱伦专区equivalent course may be skipped when it is a required, prerequisite, or co-requisite course.

For more information on AP Credit and how your score would transfer to Otterbein, please visit the 海角乱伦专区 Course Catalog.

 

College Credit

Upon acceptance to Otterbein, students are required to submit an official transcript from the college or university at which time 海角乱伦专区will evaluate their credit. From there, 海角乱伦专区will send a full evaluation of credit to the student, better explaining how their credits will transfer to 海角乱伦专区upon enrollment.
