Advanced Placement Credit

Advanced Placement in Mathematics

There are several ways well-prepared students can exempt entry level mathematics courses before beginning classes at UGA. Exempted courses can be used to satisfy prerequisites for higher level courses and/or often fulfill core distribution requirements. Some scores may garner course credit as well, please see more information below.

**NOTICE** It is common for AP exam scores to not be released until AFTER the date incoming students have their orientation.

Students have two options:

  • Student can wait for their AP scores prior to registering for any Math courses
  • Students are welcome to take the Math Placement Exam prior to receiving their AP scores as a second option to test out of/exempt UGA Math courses. This is usually scheduled during the orientation visit.

This is a personal choice for each student to decide which option is best for you.
