AP, CLEP, IB, Military and Special Examination Credits

Advanced Placement (AP)
Advanced Placement (AP) credit is awarded when you complete one or more high school AP courses and complete the AP tests while still in high school. Eight WSU credit hours may be earned for each AP score of 3, 4, or 5.

-    Students should request that their AP examination results be forwarded to the Admissions Office.
-    To have credit evaluated, a student must submit their scores and pay a $10 recording fee.
-    Scores may be submitted to the Records Office in person, along with a receipt for the $10 recording payment.
-    Once WSU receives the scores and a $10 recording fee, the admissions office will evaluate them and award the appropriate credits.

If you have additional questions, contact the Admissions Office at (801) 626-6743 or email admissions@weber.edu.

College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

CLEP is a way for students to earn college credit by completing one or more of the General or Subject Examinations administered by the Testing Center. Applications and further information on the procedure, fees, and testing schedule are available from the WSU Testing Center.

-    A student’s scores will be considered if the student withdraws from the same course within the first 3 weeks of the semester.
-    Students must submit examination scores and a receipt for the $10 application fee to the Records Office to initiate the evaluation process.

International Baccalaureate Credit (IB)

A student who completes the IB Diploma program will receive 30 semester credit hours, a waiver of all Breath Requirements contained in the general education requirements, and a waiver of the University Diversity requirement. To further waive the Core Requirements of general education, a student must complete corresponding Higher-Level Subject with a score of five (5) or higher.

-    If the IB Diploma is not earned students will be awarded eight (8) semester hours of credit and a waiver of the corresponding general education requirement for each Higher- Level Subject completed with a score of five (5) or higher.
-    If a student submits AP, CLEP, and IB scores for evaluation, the IB scores will be awarded first. If the AP or CLEP credit duplicates the IB credit already awarded the AP and CLEP credits will be reduced by the amount of credit awarded for the IB Higher-level Subject in the specific area.
-    A student must be admitted and matriculated at WSU to have IB credit evaluated.
-    Once test results have been received, students eligible for credit will receive an evaluation from the Admissions Office with instructions about how to have credits added to their transcript.
