Advanced Placement Policy

DePauw generally gives one course credit (four semester hours) for scores of 4 or 5 on the AP examinations. The courses awarded for those scores for the following tests, as well as group distributions and exceptions, are listed below. We do not give credit in studio art or in English language for international students. Questions about AP credit should be directed to the Registrar's Office.

Prospective students should request that their AP scores be sent to DePauw when they take the test. If this has not been done, please contact the AP Program to make that request so scores will be received in a timely manner. If the AP course was taken prior to the senior year, please specify that the score should also be included. Contact information follows:
