AP/IB scores

Certain AP/IB scores may grant credits to replace some of the gen ed/pre-business requirements.  

• If you have a qualifying AP score, you do not have to register for that course, but you DO have to make sure you tell the College Board to send official scores to UH Manoa.

If you have a junior-year score and or are very confident, you can hold off on registering for a class for fall that you might get the right AP score for in July/August (You still need to register for 5 classes, but say if you are taking AP English and have done well on practice exams, maybe you donʻt sign up for ENG 100 on May 27). If you donʻt get the proper score, you can change your fall schedule or put the course in spring. 

Be sure to have official scores sent direct to UH Manoa by the College Board/IBO. IB credit is given for HIGHER LEVEL (HL) scores only.
