All students must request that their Advanced Placement Exam official test scores be sent to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Temple University College Board Code: 2906.

Temple University may not receive AP Test scores in time for your orientation. Therefore, we cannot guarantee these scores will be posted to your academic history in time for your registration advising appointment, which takes place during orientation.

Students should discuss all AP exams scores (completed & pending) with Temple academic advisor during their orientation academic advising appointment.

Academic advisors will review individual student's cases during orientation and recommend Temple courses based on anticipated transfer credit, placement scores and degree requirements.

AP credit will not be awarded until official score report card is received from College Board.

When students submit dual enrollment credit for an AP course on a university or college transcript and also submit scores for the corresponding AP exam, Temple will only award credit based on the evaluation of the dual enrollment credit presented on the university or college transcript.
Duplicate credit will not be awarded for both the university/college credit and the AP score(s), since according to Temple University policy, students cannot receive credit for the same course twice.

Since AP scores may not be posted in time for orientation, all incoming first-year students must take placement assessments prior to their first semester - including English, Mathematics, and possibly Foreign Language. Even though students may receive transfer credit for completed and pending AP Exams, successful completion of AP exams does not waive students from taking Placement Assessments.

• If a student's Math AP scores shows a higher level of math than the math placement results, the AP score will be used to determine the math placement. Please bring a copy of your unofficial AP score with you to orientation.
• Beginning Spring 2017, students who earn a score of 4 or higher on the AP English Language and Composition exam will be automatically waived from taking English 802: Analytic Reading and Writing at Temple and do not need to complete the English placement assessment.
• Students who earn credit for the AP English Literature & Composition exam are not waived from taking English 802: Analytic Reading And Writing at Temple and therefore, must complete the English placement assessment.
• Students can log in to the Online Placement Assessment system to view the list of tests. A red ‘REQUIRED' will be listed next to the tests you are required to complete.

To learn more about placement assessments, please visit the  Institutional Research and Assessment website.

Although the AP credits do not transfer as direct equivalents to Temple Gen Ed courses, Temple University will allow students to satisfy the designated Gen Ed area with the AP Credits. Once scores and corresponding transfer credit is posted, students should refer to their Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS) for additional information regarding options for completing remaining GenEd requirements.

Current students should refer to their DARS for additional information regarding options for completing remaining GenEd requirements.
