AP and IB credit may be used to satisfy general requirements. Each academic department maintains its own policy regarding the use of AP or IB credit for placement in courses and progress in the major.

PLACEMENT in math courses is separate from the granting of college CREDIT. For the purposes of PLACEMENT, Haverford has its own math placement test, available on the Web.

Students with advanced qualifications (e.g., A-Levels, French Baccalaureate, International Baccalaureate, Advanced Placement Examinations) may be awarded course credit towards completion of degrees after review by the Dean of Academic Affairs. Typically, these students are granted exemption from some courses in the Richmond Core or for lower-division courses in their majors.

The English department does not assign ENGL credits for Advanced Placement or A-levels, but you may be able to get unspecified credits toward your degree.

Students who feel that they have sufficient background in physics and mathematics may request to test-out of introductory courses.

Answer: Comparing the number of IB diploma students with the number of AP diploma students is comparing apples and oranges. The differences between the two programs are significant.

Advanced Placement allows a student to read more advanced modules by being credit for the prerequisites. This means that a student can graduate in a shorter time. A student with good "A" Level results or good results in polytechnic, may seek APCs up to 32 MC of modules. Currently, the Department of Chemistry offer the following modules for APCs: CM1101, CM1111, CM1121, CM1131, CM1161, CM1371, CM1372 and CM1373.
