Advanced Placement Standards at Mercy College

To be awarded college credit for Advanced Placement (AP) courses taken in high school, a student must obtain a specific score based on the College Board Exam criteria (Advanced Placement and CLEP). Exams taken through the College Board (Advancement Placement and CLEP) are reflected on the student's Mercy College transcript but are not included in calculating the student's cumulative grade point average.
