<p>^risky (students often don’t learn enough in the AP class)</p>
<p>Here it is:</p>
<p>To receive AP credit, you must contact the College Board (Princeton, New Jersey) and request that your scores be sent to Columbia University. Once this has been done, contact your academic advisor to confirm that your scores were received by the University. Note that AP credit does NOT exempt you from taking any first-year chemistry courses. It will only reduce the number of credits necessary for graduation.</p>
<p>The majority of first-year students should register for General Chemistry C1403. If you scored a 3, 4 or 5 on the Advanced Placement Chemistry Exam, or feel that you have a strong background in chemistry, then you should take the Chemistry Department’s placement exam(s), as described above. Note that the placement exam(s) are only required if you intend to take Intensive General Chemistry C2407 or Intensive Organic Chemistry for First-year Students C3045. If you are taking General Chemistry C1403, you do not need to take a placement exam.</p>
