Students may choose to submit an official score report from College Board for their AP Tests. Students with the required scores may earn college credit for certain college courses because of their AP test scores. The official score report has to be received by the Academic Records and Enrollment department, for this process. Students who have questions regarding the awarding of credit through testing should contact the Academic Records and Enrollment (ARE) Department by emailing registrar@nwfsc.edu.

Students who have taken AP Language Composition at their high school can provide an unofficial copy from College Board as an upload to their Registration Request Form. If the student has the required score, the dual enrollment team can use the unofficial score to enter a course pre-requisite override on the students record to allow them to take additional courses. For example, a student who makes a 3 on the AP Language Composition Test meets the score requirement for ENC1101. If the student provides the unofficial score report at the time they are requesting to take ENC1102, the dual enrollment team can enter the appropriate overrides to the student’s records to meet a pre-requisite.

Keep in mind that the unofficial scores can only be used for registration purposes. An official score report submitted to ARE is required for the awarding of course credit/s.
