<li><p>They consider them automatically when they receive the score report. BigShot is correct in that you log into SIS and look under transfer credit. Note it will not be there until August. As you know the scores are not released until July and then it takes UVa awhile to match them up with you and thousands of other incoming first years. </p></li>
<li><p>UVa automatically matches up these credits with your area requirements. Once they are input into the system at UVa you can then go to SIS and click on area requirements-you can access this through the drop down box or just click on my academics. Once in the area requirements window you will see each one listed for you. If it is fulfilled it will say Satisfied or if it is not it will say Not Satisfied. Some list what was used to satisfy each, ie if you got a 5 on Environmental Science AP then under the Math/Science it would list Environmental Science and that 3 credits of the 12 have been fulfilled. Again, this will not be in there until sometime in August. </p></li>

<p>Please make sure you check the transfer and area requirements yourself for accuracy, you are responsible for UVa giving you the right transfer/AP credits. S1 had an issue with them only issuing him 1 credit for the AP English. It was an error and he emailed the A&S registrar and within a couple of days it was corrected to 3 credits which then fulfilled another area requirement. </p>
<p>If something is incorrect UVa staff is there to assist you and they are always polite. Sometimes tone of voice albeit in a call or email makes a big difference in how you are perceived. You are treated with kindness and respect there and they deserve the same in return. Remember the saying you get more with sugar than you do with vinegar. If you have never heard this saying then think about what it means. You get more with kindness than you do with being rude. I put this in here because I have spoken to UVa staff and many students and parents start to call in July and August and one person thanked me for being so nice and understanding, upon further discussion it was revealed that some that call there are not as respectful as others. Just because you pay tuition, or donate money, your parent has a prestigious job or are an alum or you are a child of one does not give the right to ever be rude to anyone or think you are better than they are in any circumstance.</p>
