Advanced Placement Exams

Credit Policy for Advanced Placement (AP) Program

The Advanced Placement (AP) Program of the College Entrance Examination Board gives students the opportunity to pursue college-level studies while still in high school and to receive advanced placement and/or credit upon entering college. Southeast Arkansas College agrees to award credit for performance on the Advanced Placement of the College Entrance Examination Board using guidelines set forth by the Arkansas Department of Higher Education.

• Official examination scores must be sent to the Registrar's Office for evaluation.
• Institutional credit will be awarded and documented on the student's SEARK College transcript for AP scores of 3 or higher if the corresponding courses are offered by SEARK College. In order to maintain consistency and high academic standards in the state, no course credit may be awarded for an AP exam score below a three (3).
• Advanced Placement ACTS Courses. The following table maps AP exams to corresponding ACTS courses. AP exams without a corresponding ACTS course listed below should be awarded at the discretion of the institution.
