Notes:

Advanced Placement Exams that satisfy UC and CSU requirements should be checked for currency and specific college credit.

AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, AP Calculus BC/AB Subscore, and AP Computer Science A, AP computer Science AB - If a student passes more than one AP exam in calculus or computer science, only one examination may be applied to the baccalaureate.
AP Environmental Science - Students who pass AP Environmental Science earn 4 units of credit. Tests prior to Fall 2009 may apply to either B1+B3 or B2+B3 of GE Breadth. Fall of 2009 or later, those credits may only apply to B1+B3.
AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2, AP Physics B, AP Physics C - If a student passes more than one AP exam in physics, only six units of credit may be applied to the baccalaureate, and only four units of credit may be applied to a certification in GE Breadth.
IGETC Version 2.0 – AP exams may be used in either area regardless of where the certifying CCC’s discipline is located.

* Minimum Semester Credits Earned towards admission - These units count toward eligibility for admission. The units may not apply towards Associate Degrees for Transfer (AD-T) or the baccalaureate degree. The units may not all apply toward certification of the corresponding GE-Breadth area. See Executive Orders 1036 and 1100 Revised for details.

** American Institutions and/or GE Breadth Area - Areas of GE Breadth (A1 through E) are defined in EO 1100. Areas of American Institutions (US-1 through US-3) are set forth in Sections IA and IB of EO 1061, and at assist.org.

*** Removal Date for GE Breadth - Students seeking certification in GE Breadth prior to transfer must have passed the test before this date.
