13.5 credits is within the recommended 13-16 credit range for first-semester freshmen, so if he wants to he can drop the course and take it easy.

But if he still wants to take a course in political science, he can. If the AP exam credits him for this politics course, there’s no reason why he should take it. He should drop the course and register for the advanced course. Advisers are nice to have but they don’t need to help you every step of the way. A lot of things your son will do at Wash U regarding registering for classes will require decisive action on his end.
