Alternate Route to AP Credit
Any student--with any AP score or no AP score at all--can receive AP credit for Math 127 (3 units) by completing Math 128 with a grade of C+ or better Math 131 (3 units) by completing Math 132 with a grade of C+ or better Math 131 and 132 (total: 6 units) by completing Math 233 with a grade of C+ or better This policy applies only when the more advanced course in the calculus sequence is taken at Washington University, and Math 127, 131, 132 are the only courses which can receive "retroactive AP credit." Student records in Engineering only show straight letter grades A,B,C..., without +'s or -'s attached. However, math instructors DO use the +/- grades, even for Engineering students, when they fill out their initial set of E-Grades. The instructor's grade, including the +/-, will be used to check whether the student has met the "C+ standard" retroactive calculus credits. Eligible students should receive this "retroactive" AP credit automatically on their WU records, although it may take a few months after completion of the next course in the sequence. If you notice that this doesn't happen by the end of the following semester, contact Calculus III There is no way to earn AP credit for Calculus III (Math 233). However, if a student has taken a multivariable course equivalent to Math 233 in a regular course at another college or university, and if the credits for that course were not counted toward fuilfilling the requirements for the high school diploma, then the credits can be transferred to Washington University. You should have the college send an official transcript of your work to your undergraduate school at Washington University (e.g., College of Arts & Sciences, or School of Engineering, or ...). Questions should be directed to Professor Ron Freiwald Course Description
