Advanced Placement (AP)

The University of Michigan-Dearborn encourages high-achieving high school students to enroll in Advanced Placement (AP) courses and take the AP exams.  Scores of 3 or better typically earn college credit at UM-Dearborn, with some exceptions.  
 

Overview of the Process

Students are notified of amount of credit via a Transfer Equivalency Worksheet (TEW) sent after admission upon receipt of scores.  Credit will appear on your UM-Dearborn transcript and is viewable in UM-Dearborn Connect:

If credit does not appear on your transcript within the first semester of attendance, please provide a copy of your scores to the Office of Admissions and Orientation.
