Table of Acceleration Credit

The table on the following pages shows how you gain and lose acceleration credit. In the left column are the criteria for granting acceleration credit based on AP scores. In the middle column are the courses whose successful completion—in freshman year with a grade of B, B+, A–, or A—yields acceleration credit. In the right column are courses resulting in the forfeit of acceleration credit.

Two is the maximum number of acceleration credits that can be earned in any subject.

Except where noted, one acceleration credit is forfeited for each course credit earned in courses listed in the third column.
