Advanced Placement (AP) Exams

Texarkana College will award college credit in subject-appropriate areas according to the chart below. Students must supply evidence of completion. A grade of “CR” is posted on a transcript. All AP students must show proof of meeting the applicable TSI requirements. There is no charge for transcription of AP credit.

A student must have completed six semester hours of credit at Texarkana College and have successful completion of a course within the last 12 months to have Advanced Placement credit applied to their record.

AP credit previously applied at another institution of higher education does not automatically transfer to Texarkana College.  For the credit to be applied at TC, the student must have their AP score report sent to TC from the College Board and submit a request to the registrar for credit to be applied to their TC record.

The process is not an automatic process upon receipt of the College Board AP Score Report.

You must check with the school to which you plan to transfer for their policy on AP credit.
