Whereas, Both the California State University (CSU) and the University of California (UC) have had systemwide minimum semester credit policies on the granting of units for Advanced Placement (AP) credit for admission purposes, which facilitates transfer by providing consistency for students on how to use external exam credit towards admission criteria;
Whereas, the UC continues to have a systemwide policy for the granting of units for AP credit for admission purposes;
Whereas, The CSU Coded Memorandum ASA-2018-06 Systemwide Credit for External Examination [1] dated April 11, 2018 has removed CSU’s system-wide policies on the granting of units for AP credit for admission purposes; and
