Advanced Placement Program

The advanced placement program, administered by the College Board, provides an opportunity for students to complete college level course work at secondary schools.  Prospective students who achieve an appropriate score on AP tests are eligible to earn college credit.

JMU will accept these scores electronically from the testing agency.  Please contact the agency to request that scores be sent directly to JMU.  More information can be found at https://apscore.collegeboard.org/scores/score-reporting. Student score report copies will not be accepted.
