Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate
Belmont Abbey College will ordinarily award course credit to students who have taken the Advanced Placement Tests of the College Entrance Examination Board and scored 3 or higher. The College also awards course credit for acceptable scores on the College Level Examination Program (C.L.E.P.), for Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), and for International Baccalaureate (IB) achievement. For IB credits, only higher level exams with scores of 5 or higher are accepted. Credit is awarded only for courses in the College’s current curriculum. A maximum of thirty (30) academic credits will be offered for advanced placement and other college-level learning acquired in non-traditional settings. Please see the table below for AP, CLEP Examination, and IB course equivalencies awarded by Department. Duplicate credit will not be awarded in the event the AP, CLEP, and/or IB achievement recommend award of the same course or courses.
