Hello all,
I was reading up on UB’s AP Credit Policy (as I will most likely be an incoming UB Bull this fall) and there is a weird alphanumerical string next to the policy for the AP course I took and what it would cover.
Is APC999TR an elective? That’s what I take it as, but I’m not 100% sure.
For reference: I took AP CSP last year, and scored a 3. It seems like UB will take it but I cannot decipher what that string means. Can anyone help?
This might be easier (as it’s highlighted in blue) rather than scrolling down the list that I provided earlier.

This link was incredibly helpful, and I found out what it means – it serves as a general exam credit. Because I got a score of 3, it could be used for 4 elective credits. I appreciate it!
It’s best not to take general elective credits since they don’t help you with your major or gen eds, but reduce the number of elective or upper-level major classes you’re allowed to take.
From my experience with AP credit policies, it’s likely that the “APC999TR” refers to a placeholder for a transfer credit or something that doesn’t map directly to a specific course. So yeah, it could be an elective or just a generic credit they assign for transfer courses.
