College Writing AP Policy for Freshmen

A score of 4 or higher on either the Advanced Placement Literature and Composition exam or the Advanced Placement Language and Composition exam satisfies the Basic Communication requirement. Students who have received a score of 3 on either of these exams will receive 6 liberal arts elective credits for their score, but will still be required to enroll in College Writing.

• Freshman students in the B.A. and B.S. degree programs (and students who have not yet declared a major) who have received a score of 3 will enroll in a College Writing section during the spring semester of their freshman year.
• Freshman students in the B.F.A. and Mus.B. programs who have received a score of 3 will be placed in a College Writing section in either the fall or spring of their freshman year, depending on their major.
