External Credit and the College Curriculum

Advanced Placement, Dual Enrollment Credit, and International College-level Exam credit may count towards requirements for 4-year students in the College Curriculum under the following conditions:

1. The credit is earned prior to matriculation to the University of Virginia.
2. The credit transfers to the College of Arts & Sciences as course equivalent credit (that is, credit that satisifies a particular course such as CHEM 1410: Introductory College Chemistry I) and not generic credit. All credit ending in "T" (example: CHEM 1000T, 2000T, 3000T, etc) is considered generic credit and will not count towards general education requirements. 
3. The course equivalent credit fulfills one of the student's outstanding general education requirements.
