Advanced Placement & Other Credits
Advanced Placement
Students admitted to Kenyon who have achieved a grade of 4 or 5 on the CEEB Advanced Placement examination may receive up to 0.5 credit. Secondary schools offer AP examinations in May.
While AP credit cannot be used to fulfill distribution or residency requirements, it can be cited in petitions for early graduation.
Other College Credit
Admitted applicants who have taken college courses while in high school may receive credit for them at Kenyon. Transcripts must be sent to the registrar for evaluation. While such credit cannot be used to fulfill residency requirements, it can be cited in petitions for early graduation.International Baccalaureate
Up to three units of credit may be awarded to students who earn scores of 5 or higher on International Baccalaureate higher-level examinations. You receive one-half unit or one-half of 3 units. Upon receipt of an official transcript, the College's registrar, in conjunction with departmental faculty members, determines the allocation of the three allowable units. Individual departments then decide upon appropriate course placements.
International Baccalaureate credit, like Advanced Placement credit, cannot be used to fulfill distribution or residency requirements. However, it can be cited in petitions for early graduation.
