High school students may be able to accelerate their academic program at Emmanuel College through Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) and college credit from other post-secondary institutions.
Advanced Placement (AP) Exam
AP scores will be evaluated by academic departments and typically offer college credit equivalent for one full course at Emmanuel, with a passing score and the respective AP course is transcripted on the official high school transcript or completed prior to matriculation at Emmanuel. If you receive credit for an AP examination, you will be placed at an advanced level in the appropriate academic department. Generally scores of 4 or 5 are accepted in exchange for credit at Emmanuel. There is no limit on the number of credits accepted for transfer via Advanced Placement.

A maximum of 32 credits (8 courses) may be awarded for eligible coursework. All coursework must be submitted on an official transcript from the post-secondary institution awarding the credit. College credit will be evaluated for incoming freshmen after students have formally deposited and declared their intention to matriculate at Emmanuel College.
