Kent State University awards college credit for most Advanced Placement exams with scores of 3, 4, or 5. The AP chart gives specific information about scores, credit, and placement recommendations.

If you are a high school student and you asked the College Board to send your scores to Kent State University, your scores will be evaluated in early August when Kent receives the score report. You and your degree-granting college will receive notification of credit by letter several weeks later.

If you did not ask the College Board to send your scores to Kent, you will need to contact the College Board directly. You can obtain reports by:
