Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate/CLEP: Prior Learning Credits

Maryville College accepts prior learning credits earned through several testing programs including the Advanced Placement (AP) program, the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, Excelsior College Examinations, the College Level examination Program (CLEP), and the DSST (Dantes) Examination Program.

For score requirements and credit awarded, see the Credit By Examination section of this catalog.

Students may prepare for credit by examination in a variety of ways but may not use the course audit option for this purpose, as credit by examination is not available for courses audited at Maryville College.

Applicants should submit their scores for these prior learning credits to the Registrar for consideration during the summer prior to enrollment.

Students may choose to decline prior learning credits by completing the appropriate form, available in the Registrar's Office. By declining prior learning credit, students can take the equivalent course at Maryville College and earn credit for it.
