Advanced Placement Credit (AP)
**The College Board has announced modifications to the AP examinations offered for the 2019-20 academic year only: examinations in the spring of 2020 will be administered as 45-minute online free-response exams to be taken at home, in lieu of the traditional face-to-face format.
The University of Nebraska at Omaha remains committed to granting students academic credit for the AP examinations they have successfully completed, and will continue to accept subject area scores as listed on the table below.**
The current UNO policies regarding specific subject areas accepted and scores required are in the table below.
Subject areas accepted and scores required are subject to change. No credit is awarded for the AP Capstone courses.
Students must have official copies of their scores submitted to the Office of Admissions by the College Board in order for credit to be awarded. To obtain copies of official grade reports, you can contact the College Board directly at 888.CALL.4.AP.
While every effort is made to keep this list up to date, courses may be added or deleted at any time. For further information about the UNO Advanced Placement (AP) Program, please contact the Office of the University Registrar at 402.554.2059.
