Advising and Registration
Below is a detailed chart showing the Advanced Placement test credits Union College will award students. Students may submit their scores to Union College and receive various credits awarded to them as a result. When credit is awarded for a specific course, for example PSY-100, students will not be able to repeat this course at Union. Each department has different policies and regulations about accepting and processing Advanced Placement scores. The chart lists department, score needed to be awarded credit, the credits given and the specific award given whether it be class credit or placement given.
