WHETHER YOU'RE A FIRST-YEAR OR TRANSFER STUDENT, MAKE SURE YOUR ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP), INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE (IB) AND/OR A-LEVEL SCORES HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE OFFICE OF UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSIONS.
Advanced Placement credit
If you selected to have your AP scores sent to Binghamton, they were automatically sent to Undergraduate Admissions by the College Board, and will appear on your student record.
- Test scores of 3, 4 or 5 receive credit. For complete Binghamton equivalencies, go to the online transfer credit evaluation.
- Knowing your scores will help you create your schedule when you register for classes at Orientation. If you haven't received your scores by Orientation, estimate what you expect to earn. If your AP scores are above or below your estimates, you may change your schedule, if necessary, during the Add/Drop period at the start of the semester.
- Some AP exam scores are equivalent to Binghamton courses. Make sure that you do not enroll in courses at Binghamton for which you received AP credit in high school because you will not receive credit for repeated coursework. You can see if your AP credit has been evaluated by looking at your DegreeWorks,which shows all of the requirements needed to receive a degree.
International Baccalaureate (IB) credit
Credit is awarded only for Higher Level IB exams. IB scores are submitted to Binghamton
through the IB website. If you have not released your scores, go to "order IB transcripts."

A-Level Exams
Credit may be awarded for some A-Level and AS-Level exams. For Binghamton University's A-Level credit guidelines, visit our website.
Course-to-course equivalencies
Many students take college coursework during high school through a local community college or university. Be sure to send official transcripts from these institutions directly to Binghamton as soon as possible so that we may add course equivalencies to your record.
- Credits are awarded on a course-by-course basis. If your school does not appear on the transfer equivalency tables we will determine course equivalencies upon transcript evaluation.
