Advanced Placement Tests

Students may receive advanced placement credit for course work taken at the secondary school level. All requests for advanced placement credit should be forwarded to the Rutgers School of Environmental and Biological Sciences Office of Academic Programs. Students should have Advanced Placement scores sent directly to Rutgers from the Educational Testing Service using our College Board code: 2765. Grades of 4 or 5 on the College Board Advanced Placement Examinations receive both credit and placement determined by the respective departments. Examinations with grades of 1, 2, or 3 receive no credit or placement.

Students who elect to take classes at or below the level for which they have received advanced placement credits will have the advanced placement credits deleted from the computation of their total degree credits. Students must notify the Office of Academic Programs in writing, stating that they do not wish to accept their AP credits; otherwise the AP credits will automatically be processed.

Notes:

  1. AP Scores of 4 or 5 on Calc AB or Calc BC and English Literature & Composition or English Language and Composition override Rutgers Placement Test Scores in Math and English.
  2. Students who place in Calculus and make a special request not to take it in the fall semester, will not be registered in Calculus.
  3. All students will have the opportunity to make schedule changes in the beginning of the semester. Students should consult with their advisor before making any changes to their course schedule.
