ADVANCED PLACEMENT and COLLEGE CREDIT
Advanced Placement Program (AP)
West Virginia University encourages you to work to your full capacity and to earn your degree at your own speed. You can take college-level courses at your school in conjunction with the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB). The Advanced Placement Service administers three-hour examinations to verify competence equal to that received by taking the actual college course. The following chart shows the subject areas, the necessary test scores, and the WVU equivalent courses.
College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
If you apply for admission to WVU and you have gained a significant level of maturity through your life experiences, you may gain college credit for these educationally related experiences through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) of the CEEB. West Virginia Board of Trustees allows University credit to be awarded for successful completion of CLEP subject examinations, except English composition and freshman English.
Up to 34 hours of general education credit may be earned for successful performance on the CLEP General Examinations. Although this program was designed primarily for non-traditional students, exceptionally qualified high school seniors may use the CLEP Program. The following chart indicates the areas in which WVU grants credit based on the minimum score required.
It should be noted that no one is eligible for CLEP credits after he/she has enrolled at WVU. A veteran may receive advanced placement for specific military experience and should contact the Office of Admissions and Records for specific information.
International Baccalaureate Program (IB)
West Virginia University welcomes applications from students who have attended High Schools that offer the International Baccalaureate program. Credit given varies with level (Standard or Higher) and with score. The table below shows for the common subjects, scores needed and WVU equivalents.
Military Experience
WVU will recognize service in the military as recommended by the ACE Guide. Upon matriculation and submission of the necessary forms, credit will be established. Please contact the Office of Admissions and Records for specific information.
