Advanced Placement (AP) Examination: IVC Associate Degree and General Education Credit
Students may earn associate degree and general education credit for Advanced Placement (AP) Tests with scores of 3, 4, or 5. Advanced Placement Examinations are noted in the chart below with the specific course credit listed or with the notation “AP credit not accepted.” AP exams not included in the chart do not have an IVC course for which credit is granted. Listed are minimum scores to earn AP credits.
Students must have the College Board send AP exam results to the IVC Admissions Office for use on the associate degree or general education pattern. Course credit and units granted at Irvine Valley College may differ from course credit and units granted by a transfer institution.
Associate Degrees: Students should be aware that AP test credit is determined by comparing the content covered in an exam to the content covered in an equivalent IVC course. Credit by Advanced Placement exam is noted on the student’s transcript.

1 A minimum score of 3 is required for AP credits to be granted.
2 These units count toward eligibility for admission.
3 If a student passes more than one AP exam in calculus or computer science, only one exam may be applied to the baccalaureate.
4 If a student passes more than one AP exam in physics, only six units may be applied to the baccalaureate, and only four units may be applied to the CSUGE certification.
Advanced Placement (AP) Examination: IGETC Credit
- A score of 3, 4, or 5 is required to grant credit for IGETC certification.
- An acceptable AP score for IGETC equates to either 3 semester or 4 quarter units for certification purposes.
- Students who have earned credit from an AP exam should not take a comparable college course because transfer credit will not be granted for both.
- Students should consult a counselor for the UC policy concerning AP credit.

1 AP exams in Biology, Chemistry, or Physics 1 allow California community college campuses to apply 4 semester or 5 quarter units to IGETC certification.
2 AP exams in Environmental Science, Physics C: Mechanics and Physics C: Electricity/Magnetism, 3 semester or 4 quarter units are applied for IGETC certification; therefore, students who complete these exams will be required to complete at least 4 semester or 5 quarter units to satisfy the minimum required units for Area 5.
3 AP exams may be used in either area regardless of where the certifying California community college’s discipline is located.
