Advanced Placement (AP) Program

High school students who participated in The College Board’s AP Program may receive college credit by attaining UACCM’s AP qualifying score. Credit earned through AP may satisfy certificate and/or degree requirements.

The following are the AP examinations that the University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton will accept, the corresponding qualifying score required, and credit awards:

AP scores of 3 and subsequent UACCM credit awarded are guaranteed to transfer consistent with the Arkansas Course Transfer System (ACTS)*.

AP scores of 4 or 5 and subsequent UACCM credit awarded are not guaranteed to transfer but will be evaluated by the future college/university.

Credit Policy for Advanced Placement Exam

Arkansas public colleges and universities agree to award credit for performance on the Advanced Placement exams using the following guidelines:

• All institutions will award some level of credit, as determined by the institution, for scores of 4 and scores of 5.
• The use of scores of 3 and lower for credit, placement, or exemption will be left to the discretion of the institution.

If a student has received credit from a college or university for a score of 4 or 5 and transfers to another Arkansas public college or university, the receiving institution will accept the credit for that course or courses in the same manner in which course credit is accepted for other courses transferred from an accredited institution of higher education and consistent with the receiving institution’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.
