    Questions students ask

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

    A 4 on every exam on the list we show. Some exams earn more with a higher score; add your exams in the calculator above to see each one.

    What if my score is too low?

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

    Is AP® credit guaranteed?

    No. University of Ottawa sets its own policy and can change it. We copied this from University of Ottawa's AP® credit policy (uottawa.ca) on 28 Oct 2026; check the official page before you count on the credit.
