CREDIT POLICY FOR ADVANCED PLACEMENT EXAMS

1. Southeast Arkansas College agrees to award credit for performance on the Advanced Placement (AP) Program of the College Entrance Examination Board using the following guidelines: Award institutional credit and document the credit on the student's SEARK College transcript for AP scores of 4 and 5 if the corresponding courses are offered by SEARK College. Scores of 3 are valid for AP credit on selected courses. (See No. 4 below.)
2. If a student has received credit from a college or university for a score of 4 or 5 and transfers to Southeast Arkansas College, SEARK will accept the credit for that course or courses in the same manner in which course credit was accepted for other courses transferred from an accredited institution of higher education and consistent with SEARK College's AP policy. AP exam scores on the basis of which credit, placement, or exemption is given (including scores lower than 4 or 5) must either be entered on the academic record or must accompany the transcript when a student asks that a transcript of the record be sent to another institution for transfer.
3. Transfer of credit, placement, or exemption for scores lower than 4 will be left to the discretion of the receiving institution.
4. Southeast Arkansas College will accept for credit the following AP exams if the College's minimum required scores are met. The SEARK College equivalent course for which credit will be awarded is listed below.
