NewJerseyMom,
From talking with an advisor at Admitted Students Day, you are supposed to go off of how well you feel you did on the AP test. If you are confident that you got a 4 or 5 on a certain class, then you should not include that in your schedule.

Having spoken with an advisor trying to register for classes, AP scores for English place you in LIT-106, Writing Intensive. Apparently, 6 credits aren’t given to completely test out of College Writing. Instead, you just take 3 credits of College Writing. I am unsure if AP scores for English can get you out of other foundational requirements with the change such as General Education Areas 1 or 2 foundation classes.

If you go to the Online Freshman Guide and find your advisor’s e-mail address, e-mail would probably be an easier form of communication until Orientation. I have been e-mailing back and forth with an advisor in SPA and they have been very helpful and understanding of the fact that a lot of people are confused over the process and are trying to figure out the logistics of scheduling.
