Advanced Placement (AP) Credit

Ohio students who earn a score of 3 or higher on a College Board AP examination are guaranteed to receive college credit, mainly in general education areas, upon entrance to any of Ohio’s public institutions of higher education.

AP Credit Awarding Procedure

  1. Students must visit the official College Board website to view their AP score(s) and/or request to have them sent to specific institutions. Students must have the College Board send their score(s) to: Cuyahoga Community College/ Office of the Registrar/ P.O. Box 5966/ Cleveland, OH 44101 
  2. The registrar will evaluate AP score(s) upon receipt to determine applicable credit. After evaluation, the Office of the Registrar will send results to the student’s Tri C email address. If AP credit is awarded, it will post to the student’s academic record within five business days (during peak enrollment period, time may be longer).
