Thanks Dean J.



The University of Virginia awards

* Advanced standing credit (course exemption and academic credit hours) or

Advanced Placement (course exemption but no credit hours)


to entering students who have qualifying scores on the Advanced Placement (AP) tests.



I know this is from the arts & sciences website, but (having gotten a 5 on calc bc exam), does this mean I can take calc 3 AND get credit for calc 2 (6 hours), or does it only allow me to take calc 3 with no credit hours awarded for calc 2? The CAS website quoted above seems to suggest either one may apply, but I’d like to know which in my situation.

For electives I think it’s easier, since I can use credit I got on other AP exams (Biology and Art History) for science and humanities electives, respectively. Right now I’m trying to see if for Calculus I can get actual credit hours toward my graduation requirement or if it merely gives me the opportunity to take a higher level math course (with no credit hours awarded otherwise).
