Where to check AP/IB scores and transfer coursework (cont.):

On your Academic History you will see your posted test scores and transfer coursework listed under the “Transfer Courses” section. Please note that IB scores and transfer coursework typically take longer than AP scores to process and post on your records, but they should be posted by your enrollment time if you submitted them by the July 1st deadline. Keep checking your Academic History in TritonLink.

In this example, the student completed a number of AP exams and two transfer Physics courses from Citrus College. Under UCSD Approximation, you can see the UCSD courses the AP credit and transfer course are approximated to. This student has credit for CHEM 4 and MATH 20A with AP, and has PHYS 2A, 2B, 2BL, and 2CL with transfer credit.

What AP / IB Credit Gives You:

AP / IB Chart on ERC Websitehttps://roosevelt.ucsd.edu/academics/academic-advising-resources

After you have checked your AP/IB test scores in TritonLink, you can use the ERC AP/IB chart to see which courses your test scores exempt you from. You can find this on the ERC website at http://roosevelt.ucsd.edu or use the QR code on the screen.

Let’s see where you can find the AP/IB chart from the ERC website.

12


http://roosevelt.ucsd.edu/

http://roosevelt.ucsd.edu

Go to the ERC homepage at http:// roosevelt.ucsd.edu, and click on the “Academics” tab at the top of the page

13


Scroll down to bottom-left of page:

Scroll down to the bottom of the page. On the bottom left, click on the “AP/IB Chart” link.

14


AP / IB Chart:

The link will bring you to this AP/IB page. Please be sure to read the disclaimers and information at the top to understand how to correctly interpret your exam scores and credits.

15


AP / IB Chart:

The chart is separated by subject areas. If the AP and IB exams have the same subject area, the AP chart is listed first under the drawer and the IB chart listed second.

The first column on the left shows the type of exam. The next column shows the scores. Next to that is the UC units that you will receive based on your score. After that, you will see the course exemptions that AP score will give you. Finally, in the last column, you will see which GEs your AP scores will fulfill. There may be a note in red which indicates if the AP exam is the same subject area as an IB exam.

16


How to check what Advanced Placement (AP) Credit will give you

(cont.):

Let’s look at an example. Here, a score of 4 or 5 on the AP Biology exam gives you 8 units of credit, exempts you from BILD 1, 2, and 3, at UC San Diego, and satisfies the two-course requirement for the ERC Natural Science General Education requirement.

Some of you might think that you may need to repeat courses that your AP credit exempts you from. However, if you are already exempt from a UCSD course through AP scores, you cannot retake that class for credit and should not enroll in the course.

17

http://roosevelt.ucsd.edu/academics/gen-ed/index.html


(cont.):

Some AP scores will not exempt you from a specific class but will meet ERC GE requirements.

For example, a score of 3 on the AP Environmental Science exam gives you 4 units of elective credit and completes one of the two required Natural Science GE courses. It does not exempt you from a specific class at UC San Diego.

18



(cont.):

And, finally, some AP scores will give you elective credits toward graduation, but will not exempt you from a specific course nor from GE requirement.

For example, a score of 3 or 4 on the AP Microeconomics exam will give you 4 units of elective credit but will not exempt you from a specific ECON course nor a GE requirement.

19


How to check what International Baccalaureate (IB) Credit will give you:

If you took IB exams, scroll to the respective drawer of the subject area to see which courses your IB scores exempt you from. Similar to AP credits, certain qualifying IB scores can exempt you from courses and/or GE requirements.

Keep in mind that only Higher Level exam scores will be awarded credits. Standard Level exams, with the exception of the IB English exam, will not be awarded credit on your UCSD transcripts.

You can use the “Ask a Question tool” in the New Triton Advising site when it becomes available to ask ERC Academic Counselors questions about your specific test scores and records.

Transfer Coursework:

• If submitted them on time to UCSD Office of Admissions, will posted in August if they are UC transferable

• Courses taken at any UC, 4-year institution within California, or outside of California

• Check UCSD Office of Admissions and Academic Department

• Courses taken at California Community College

• http://assist.org

• NOTE: The IGETC Program, Partial IGETC Program, and all Transfer Agreements apply exclusively to students admitted as Transfers. These programs do not apply to students admitted as First Year Students.

As noted earlier, college transcripts sent to the UCSD Office of Admissions by the deadline will be posted in August. If you submitted it late, UCSD Office of Admissions will try their best to post at least Math and English credit by your Fall enrollment time, but there is no guarantee. If your transfer credit is posted later, then it may affect your Fall enrollment.

Coursework from a 2-year institution outside of California or another 4-year institution, may not be approximated to a UCSD course. You should check with the corresponding UCSD academic department to see if the course can count towards requirements or meet a prerequisite.

If you took coursework at a California Community College, use the website http://assist.org to see if a course is articulated to a UCSD course and whether a course is UC transferable.

It’s important to note that the IGETC Program, Partial IGETC Program, and all Transfer Agreements apply exclusively to students admitted as Transfers. These programs do not apply to students admitted as First Year Students.

Placement Exams:

Analytical Writing Placement Exam (AWPE) or Writing Placement Test (WPT) for the ELWR

• http://awp.ucsd.edu Math Placement Exam (Calculus only)

• http://mathtesting.ucsd.edu Language Placement Exam

• https://llp.ucsd.edu/Chemistry Placement Exam

• http://chemistry.ucsd.edu

These are the placement exams you might need to complete before enrolling in a Fall quarter course. As mentioned before, you may or may not need to take these exams depending on your test scores.

If you do not need to take Calculus or Chemistry for your major or graduate school requirements, then you don’t take the Math or Chemistry placement exams. If unsure of your major or professional path, then consider taking the Math placement to have options in the future.

Some test scores may have cleared your UC Entry-Level Writing Requirement, placed you into a Calculus course, and cleared your Language GE requirement. Check the websites listed on the screen to see qualifying scores.
