<p>This is all great information! Hope someone can help me…I found the ‘apcred2012.pdf’ a bit confusing when comparing it to the required courses for Industrial Engineering/IE degree. My D is an incoming freshman. She has decided to take the math, physics and chem at SLO although she has passed several AP tests. Does that mean she earns zero AP credits towards free electives or does she get a small number of credits? She’s a bit discouraged after all that hard work! Yes, I know that engineers don’t have free electives with almost 200 credits req for their degree! But someone mentioned possibly having the credits apply towards a minor (gee, will she have time?). Or that it helps establish the students standing so they can register for specific level classes. 
Hope someone can give me more info about this part. Looking forward to Open House next week. After reading all the suggested activities, we are planning to take in as many as possible! Thank you! … OCmomof3</p>
