*A score o
f 2 on the Calculus AB or Calculus BC will waive the QA Requirement but no credit hours will be awarded.
**Effective Spring 2007 a score of 4 or higher on English Lang & Comp, or English Lit & Comp will be required to waive Writing 2010. A score of 3 will waive
Writing 1010.
When a student has both AP and CLEP credit, AP is counted first and is considered as course work when evaluating General Education requirements. In
addition, if college credit has been awarded and duplicates the AP course work, the AP credit will be reduced by the amount of credit previously earned.
When determining General Education requirements, the entire area is waived with two Intellectual Exploration (IE) courses earned in one General Education
area.
A student must be a matriculated student at the University of Utah to have AP credit recorded. AP scores and General Education waivers are evaluated
according to the current policy at the time the request is made for an evaluation.
