Advanced Placement Program (AP Credit)
Wayne State College participates in the Advanced Placement (AP) program of the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB). A student may be awarded advanced placement and college credit on the basis of scores on the College Entrance Examination Board tests. Students who earn grades of 3 or higher may receive credit for corresponding college courses, which are most nearly equivalent to the test, as approved by the department chair of the area concerned, the dean of the school, and the Records and Registration Office. Contact your high school counselor for further information about enrolling in Advanced Placement (AP) courses and sending official AP scores to Wayne State College.
Departmental Advanced Placement Credit
An academic department of WSC may also allow AP credit for a course in that department. The student must pay a $10 per credit hour fee.
