- Credit will be awarded only once for the same course, whether from credit by examination, dual enrollment, transfer credit, or UF course credit.
- UF course credit takes precedence over all other forms of credit for the same course.
- Credit awarded for acceptable dual enrollment or transfer courses takes precedence over credit by examination.
- If duplicate credit exists among AICE, AP, CLEP, or IB, the exam yielding the most credit will be awarded.
Guidelines for Credit Awarded by AICE, AP, CLEP, or IB Examinations
- A maximum of 45 credit hours may be granted by combining AICE, AP, CLEP, and IB credit.
- Beginning with the 2019 Catalog year, students may be awarded a maximum of 30 credit hours for IB exams and a maximum of 30 credit hours for AICE exams.
- Students beginning in the fall or spring term must have taken the exams (AICE, AP, CLEP, and IB) and have their scores reported to the university before the end of their first term of enrollment at UF.
- Students who begin in the Summer A term must have taken the exam(s) and had their scores reported to the university before the end of their first Summer B/C term.
- Students who begin in the Summer B term must have taken the exam(s) and had their scores reported to the university before the end of their first fall term.
- If a student submits appropriate scores, UF will grant credit for the UF course(s) that most closely match the content of the exam as determined by the State of Florida. The transcript will reflect the course(s) with grades of P (for Pass). P grades will not be calculated into the student's GPA.
- Equivalent courses earned by examination generally fulfill the same requirements that the UF course fulfills.
AICE Exam Credit
Students completing approved AICE examinations with scores of A-E will earn UF credit.
Scores of E or higher on AICE French Language, German, Latin Language, and Spanish Language examinations fulfill the foreign language proficiency requirement for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the College of Journalism and Communications, and B.A. programs in the College of the Arts.
The chart specifies which UF course credit students will earn depending on their score on each exam and whether the credit earned will count for general education and the writing requirement (6,000 words).
Beginning with the 2019 Catalog, students may be awarded a maximum of 30 credit hours for AICE exams.
