Students may have their AP, CLEP, IB or DSST scores sent directly to Weber State University or bring them to the Admissions Office. Once we have received the scores there is an application that needs to be filled out if you are interested in having your AP, CLEP, IB or DSST credit applied to your record. There is a $10 processing fee that needs to be paid at the Cashiers Office. This fee needs to be paid before credit can be posted. Click here to download the application. We will then evaluate your scores and post the appropriate credit to your transcript. Please be aware that it can take up to two (2) weeks to post AP, CLEP, IB and DSST scores to your record.

Weber State University grants course credit for AP scores of 3, 4, or 5 as determined by the appropriate department and noted in the yearly posted guidelines (Please note that some departments require a minimum score of 4 to receive any credit).
