Transfer of AP Credit to UMD

Please read the attached note from Mary Bell the University of Maryland credit evaluator regarding transfer of AP credits under their new general education program.   There is no limit maximum to the number of AP credits allowed for transfer, but there are some rules in how AP credit is applied in their new general education program.


In summary AP credits & its applicability towards the new General Education program at UMD is that up to 6 AP exams can be used to fulfill the 8 Distributive Studies areas for General Education. In addition to satisfying these 6 Distributive Studies areas, please note that AP exams can also be used to satisfy the Fundamental Studies requirements but again only 6 courses can be used from AP and IB exams towards the Distributive Studies requirement area for General Education.
