Advanced Placement
The College Board has announced a modification to their May 2020 exams that will allow students to test at home. The College Board will be awarding students a grade for each of their registered AP exams on the normal 1-5 scale.
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is committed to supporting our incoming students and ensuring that they have a smooth transition to their higher education studies. Thus, based on the calculated grades that the College Board will provide, Illinois will continue to award academic credit for strong performance on all AP exams. The credit policies that apply to 2020-2021 incoming students appear below. As always, incoming students will also have the opportunity to take departmental proficiency exams.
