Advanced Placement
Â鶹ÊÓƵ awards college credit for Advanced Placement (AP) exams with scores of 3, 4, or 5. The AP Chart (PDF) gives information about these scores and credits earned. Specific questions regarding how these credits apply to your selected major must be directed to that college office. You should have original copies of your scores forwarded to Â鶹ÊÓƵ. KSU's code is 1367 for AP credit. Review additional AP credit information at the website. If you are a high school student and you asked the College Board to send your scores to Â鶹ÊÓƵ when you took the tests in May, your scores will be evaluated in early August when Kent receives the score report.
You will receive an E-mail to your @kent.edu address when your credit has been posted.
If you took AP exams, received scores from College Board, and sent your scores over a month ago and do not see any credit awarded for your AP exam scores of 3 or higher, please contact us for questions regarding your AP credit at 330-672-8950 or use our online inquiry form. Be aware that you will need to locate your College Board exam report confirmation email/notice to assist us in tracking down score reports that are sent to Â鶹ÊÓƵ.
If you did not ask the College Board to send your scores to Kent, you will need to contact the College Board directly. You can find information on ordering official AP Score Reports for colleges at
