Incoming Freshmen who have recently received new AP scores:
Congratulations! It will take UMBC time to receive and process your new scores so they are reflected in your course history/ transfer credit report!
You can view the scores required to receive UMBC credit for your AP exams here.
Until your scores are received and processed you will not be able to automatically use those scores as prerequisites for higher level courses. However, the appropriate departments can enter overrides as long as you can show a screenshot of the score.
When requesting an override you will need to know the course and exact section of lecture (and discussion if required). You can use the schedule builder to identify the section(s) you want to register.
Math course overrides will need to be entered by the Math department via a Help Ticket. Please be sure to attach a screenshot of your AP scores.
