AP/IB Credit Policy
Advanced Placement (AP) Credit
A.P. credit is defined as one unit of degree credit assigned for a score of 4 or 5 on a CEEB A.P. examination taken prior to matriculation and before the student formally enrolls. No more than one semester (four units) may be granted in advanced placement (A.P.).
International Baccalaureate (IB) Credit
Students who present an IB Diploma and who also earn a minimum of 36 composite points with a score of 5 or higher in all six of their IB examinations will receive eight Clark units (one full year). Students who present an IB Diploma (a minimum of 24 composite points) will receive four Clark units (one semester). Students who do not complete the full IB Diploma will receive one Clark unit for each higher level examination with a score of 5 or better up to a maximum of four Clark units (one semester).
Credit from College Courses taken while in High School
Students may receive credit for college work completed prior to their matriculation at Clark University if that credit is in a content area deemed academically acceptable to Clark and is from an accredited college or university. Transfer Credit earned at other universities before enrolling at Clark can comprise no more than 50 percent of the credit required for a Clark degree and major. Students entering Clark as first-year students may be awarded no more than three semesters (12 units) of external credits earned after their initial enrollment. Grades do not transfer; only credit transfers.
More information about gaining advanced standing at Clark can be obtained through Academic Advising.
