College Credit

There are a number of ways to earn advanced standing credit, which may help accelerate your academic program at FSU.

Advanced Placement & International Baccalaureate

Scoring high enough on your AP or IB exams is one way to receive college credit. Official score reports should be submitted to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at the time of enrollment so they can be formally evaluated for credit.

AP SCORES

Scores of three (3) or higher – FSU code is 3519

See AP Exam and FSU Course Equivalencies (PDF)

IB SCORES

Higher Level Exams, Scores of five (5) or higher

Dual Enrollment

You may have the opportunity to earn college credit while still in high school through dual enrollment. Credit is awarded for college-level courses completed at regionally accredited colleges and universities in the liberal arts and sciences as well as some professional courses. Transfer credit is given only for courses in which you received a grade of C- or higher. There is no limit to the amount of credit which can be transferred.

Official college transcript(s) for these course(s) should be submitted to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at the time of enrollment so they can be formally evaluated for credit.
