Alternative Credit (AP, IP, CLEP)

The College accepts the use of alternative credit for courses for students entering the College for the first time. Students who wish to receive alternative credit for courses must have official score reports and/or transcripts from the source or agency sent to the Office of Academic Records for official evaluation and awarding of credit. Scores or transcripts sent to the Office of Admissions will be forwarded to the Office of Academic Records. The maximum number of hours that may be used to satisfy credit for courses through alternative credit is 30 hours.

These courses do not affect grade point averages and are evaluated as any other transfer course. Acceptance of advanced placement credits to a specific degree will be determined by the division chair, in consultation with the Registrar. Normally, a score of 3 is accepted; however, some major divisions may require a different score. Contact the Office of Academic Records for additional information.

The College accepts alternative credit for courses from the following entities:

Advanced Placement Scores— The College Board (AP)

International Baccalaureate Organization (IB)

College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

NOTE: Credit will be based on evaluation and scores. Not all credit is accepted.

Students entering Miles College for the first time are allowed credit on the Advanced Placement Examination administered by the College Entrance Examination Board. Grades are recorded on the student’s transcript for courses in which advanced placement credit is earned.
