    Questions students ask

    What AP® score do I need for credit at Seattle University?

    It depends on the exam: from a 3 on some exams to a 4 on others. Add your exams in the calculator above to see each one.

    How much credit can one AP® exam earn at Seattle University?

    Up to 10 credits, on Calculus AB or Calculus BC or Chinese or French and others. On this list, one exam earns 5 to 10 credits.

    What if my score is too low?

    If your score is below what Seattle University asks for on that exam, you can retake the exam next May, take a CLEP® exam if Seattle University accepts it, or take a self-paced course with an ACE or NCCRS credit recommendation. Seattle University decides what counts, so ask before you enroll.

    Is AP® credit guaranteed?

    No. Seattle University sets its own policy and can change it. We copied this from Seattle University's AP® credit policy (seattleu.edu) on 29 Oct 2026; check the official page before you count on the credit.
