<p>Academic Work Completed Before Matriculation</p>
<p>“Credit may be awarded for Advanced Placement examinations, some foreign diploma programs, and/or college level courses completed while in high school. Such credits are not immediately applied toward the degree and the restrictions governing their use are published in the Smith College Bulletin. Advanced Placement and other prematriculation credits may not be used to fulfill the distribution requirements for Latin Honors. A maximum of one year (32 credits) of any combination of Advanced Placement, foreign high school and/or college credit earned before matriculation may be counted toward the degree.”</p>
<p>Advanced Placement Credit </p>
<p>“Smith College participates in the Advanced Placement Program administered by the College Entrance Examination Board. Credits are recorded for scores of 4 or 5 on most Advanced Placement examinations. The credits to be recorded for each examination are determined by the individual department. Further restrictions regarding the transfer and use of Advanced Placement credit are published in the Smith College Bulletin.”</p>
