Advanced Placement Program (AP), CLEP, and IB Program credit for freshmen

The University grants credit and/or advanced standing based on the Subject Examinations of the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), subjects completed under the Advanced Placement Program (AP) of the College Entrance Examination Board, and subjects completed through the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program. UM will award general core credit through IB and AP examinations. Credit will be reviewed upon acceptance to the University and for purposes of admission into the UM Honors Program. Credit will be reviewed and determined by the University Registrar and the appropriate department chair after the completion of the fall semester of the student’s senior year of high school. Inquiries should be directed to the Office of Admissions.

Non-academic credit

The University does not award academic credit for non-academic pursuits such as continuing education courses, "life experience," or any other course work taken on a noncredit basis.
