*DEFINITIONS & NOTES:

Major Course Credit means credit for a specific course in a major is awarded.  For example, if a score of 4 or 5 is earned on the Calculus --AB test, the student is eligible to reduce the requirements in the Math major by one course.  If course credit is blank, there is no reduction in the number of courses required for that major.

Those departments that assign placement do so on the basis of department placement exams, to be administered during First Days, and/or consultation 

Biology -- Placement depends on department exam results.  Students must obtain an AP score of 5 to be eligible to take the department exam.

Chemistry -- Placement and major course credit depend on department exam results and consultation with the department. 

Chinese – Placement depends on department exam results.

Computer Science – Students should consult with the department to confirm appropriate placement.

† Economics -- Students who receive a 5 on the Microeconomics AP or Macroeconomics AP exam, or a 5 on each, may place out of ECON 110 or 120, or both, respectively. Even though ECON 110 is a prerequisite for ECON 120, students who place out of ECON 120 but not ECON 110 must still take ECON 110 if they wish to major in economics.

French -- Placement depends on department exam results.  Students may be eligible to enroll in RLFR 200 or 300 level courses.

German -- Placement and major course credit depend on department exam results.  Students with scores of 5 may be eligible to enroll in GERM 108 or higher.  Students with a score of 4 may be eligible to enroll in GERM 104 or 201.  Students with a score of 3 may be eligible to enroll in GERM 103.

History -- Students receiving a score of 4 or 5 on any AP history examination are strongly encouraged to enroll in a 100-level History seminar or tutorial, or a 200-level survey course. With permission of the instructor they may also enroll in a 200-level advanced topics course.

Japanese – Placement depends on department exam results.

Mathematics -- Calculus placement depends on a department questionnaire and AP test results.  Students can also see department for additional advising, especially in cases of eligibility for courses beyond calculus.  A student who receives a 3, 4 or 5 on the BC examination is ordinarily placed in MATH 106. A student who receives a 4 or 5 on the AB examination is ordinarily placed in Math 105. A student who receives a 1 or 2 on the BC examination or a 2 or 3 on the AB examination is ordinarily placed in Math 104. Students who have had calculus in high school, whether or not they took the Advanced Placement Examination, are barred from Math 103 unless they obtain permission from the instructor. A student who receives a 1 on the AB examination should consult the department.

Music - Placement depends on department exam results.

Physics -- Placement depends on Math and Physics AP scores, department placement exam results and individual conferences.  Students may be eligible to bypass PHYS 141 and enroll in PHYS 142, PHYS 151, ASTR 111 or in rare cases PHYS 201.                            
            
Spanish -- Placement depends on department exam results.
