The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is committed to supporting our incoming students and ensuring that they have a smooth transition to their higher education studies. The credit policies below apply to all students entering Illinois in Summer 2025, Fall 2025, or Spring 2026. Only scores resulting in credit are shown.
If you do not see the new policies for 2025-2026, please clear out your cache and refresh your browser.
For descriptions of the courses listed in the table below, please see the Courses of Instruction section in the Academic Catalog.
Course numbers listed as 1 - - or 2 - - are considered elective credit within the stated subject area. This is because our campus does not have an equivalent course that corresponds to the AP course. Students can apply elective credit towards their graduation requirements. Students should consult with their academic advisor to determine how this test-based credit may best be used to meet their specific curriculum and program requirements.
