Old Dominion University recognizes the rigor and challenge of the Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) and Cambridge Advanced (A/AS Level) programs. Credit may also be awarded for A/AS Level Examinations from examining boards other than the Cambridge Advanced Program. Advanced standing credit is awarded to students who earn qualifying scores on AP, IB and Cambridge Advanced (A/AS Level) subject examinations. (See AP and IB equivalency charts, Office of Admissions website: admissions.odu.edu.) For further information on credit awarded for A/AS Level Examinations, contact the Office of Admissions.)

Most credits awarded for AP, IB and Cambridge Advanced (A/AS Level) examinations satisfy individual course requirements in ODU’s General Education curriculum. Course credit will not be awarded until final and official examination scores are received. Students must request their official exam results be sent to Old Dominion University Office of Admissions.
