What will your Concurrent Enrollment/AP Credit Count for?
Universities adjust requirements frequently. WHS Counselors suggest verifying credit acceptance and placement directly with the university you are planning to attend.
Each university has a “Transfer Guide” or “Articulation Agreement” available on their websites. Below are links to those documents.
BYU does not publish their transfer guide. You will need to set up an appointment with an admissions advisor.
Sending Credit
Sending Credit
Concurrent credit: You will need to order an official transcript at EACH university you earned concurrent enrollment credit in and have it sent to the university you plan to attend.
AP Credit: Most universities require credit to be sent directly from AP Collegeboard. You will need to pay a fee to have the AP credit placed on your official college transcript. Talk with your academic advisor at your university to get more information regarding this.
