When schools change their requirements (in this case to be more stringent), someone is bound to be affected. You can’t expect them to grandfather in prior requirements year after year. I do not find UA’s policy at all unfair: Those who took the AP course before the changes are being assessed on one criteria, and those who took the course while the changes were made (or after the changes were made) are assessed using another criteria. I doubt someone made a decision to take an AP course over 12+ months ago in high school (i.e., January-May of their sophomore year for a course they took this past year as a junior, and receive a score this summer prior to their senior hs year when they apply to use the AP credits…), knowing that they would get a certain amount of credit for that course at UA. Most students don’t even know where they are going to go to college that far in advance. UA has one of the most generous AP credit policies around. Suck it up. By the same token, if y’all (politely) asked them to apply your credits under the old criteria, they might just do so, because they are just that awesome.
