Credit for Advanced Placement,
CLEP and RAVE credit

College credit may be awarded if appropriate conditions are met by Advanced Placement (AP) courses, College Level Examination Program (CLEP) test scores, or Regional Articulation in Vocational Education (RAVE) courses. See the Admissions Office in the Azalea Building for details.

A-B Tech academic credit will be granted to enrolled students who receive scores of 3, 4, or 5 on the AP tests offered by the College Board. AP credit accepted at other post-secondary institutions is not automatically transferred to A-B Tech, but is reviewed when scores are received.
