ADMISSION
Special Admission
Advanced Placement
The College Board
Applicants may take advantage of the Advanced Placement Program of the College Board, which has encouraged the establishment of college-level courses in high school. The A.P. Program offers placement examinations in a variety of subject fields each spring. Information about these examinations may be obtained through the high school or the College Board website www.collegeboard.com. The following table shows current departmental practice regarding the Advanced Placement (AP) Tests in the subjects examined. Course credit given to Advanced Placement courses will satisfy divisional requirements of the JCU Core course equivalent. Core special designations (D, R, S, or W) are not awarded to Advanced Placement courses.

Institutional
Applicants who have not taken the Advanced Placement Tests but have attained a superior level of academic performance in high school will be permitted, on nationally normed examinations selected by the university, to demonstrate competence in English composition, history, languages at the intermediate level, mathematics, and science.
Degree credit is not given on the basis of such tests, but certain basic course requirements may be waived for students demonstrating high achievement. These students will be eligible to enroll in more advanced courses.
International Baccalaureate
While this is a relatively new process at John Carroll, we do accept some credit from IB courses. The student inquiring about transfer credit must request a transcript from IBNA (International Baccalaureate North America) and ask them to send it directly to John Carroll. Once we receive the transcript we will consider coursework with scores of 5, 6, or 7 in HL (Higher Level) examinations only. The student must also provide a syllabus from their high school for each course being considered for transfer credit. A copy of the syllabus is sent to the JCU departmental chairperson for their input on what transfer credit may be given. The student receives a transfer credit evaluation when the evaluation has been completed.
