Please Note

AP credits may apply to graduation requirements, but they do not count toward your residence requirements (that is, up to 75 transfer credits can apply to graduation requirements; 45 residence credits must be earned through UMass Amherst; 60 credits if graduating with honors). In addition, no grade is granted for AP credits.
