Does Dartmouth award credit for Advanced Placement or International Baccalaurate Exam results?

The short answer to this question is "yes." The longer answer is that you can find a lot of helpful information about placement and credit opportunities on Dartmouth's website for first-year students. There are even charts that outline what credit or placement will result from specific scores received on AP exams and IB exams.

As a first year applicant, can I receive credit for college or university courses taken before enrolling at Dartmouth?

Yes, but there are a few things you should keep in mind:

• First year students may transfer to Dartmouth a maximum of 4 courses taken elsewhere.
  
• Transferred courses must be taken at an accredited four-year college or university in a department or program represented in the Dartmouth undergraduate curriculum.
• Courses taken at a Community/Junior College or Online are not eligible to receive credit at Dartmouth.*
  
• During the review of an application, the Admissions Committee will include the results of all courses taken (including from Community/Junior College or Online)
• Faculty grant credit for courses on a case-by-case basis
• Some departments may restrict the granting of transfer credit
• Entering first-year students can file an Application for pre-matriculation Exemption and/or Credit described here.
