Advanced Placement Credit
Villanova recognizes advanced placement from The College Board advanced placement program (AP) and from the International Baccalaureate Program (IB).
Computer Science students who have taken these courses should contact their academic advisor or the CSC main office to verify Villanova's receipt of the scores and to ensure that proper adjustments have been made to their academic records. The courses will be entered into the student's record with Villanova credit but without a grade. In some cases, the advanced placement course will allow the student to place out of a lower level course but will not be counted as credit.
The following chart indicates how AP test scores map to Villanova courses:
