Advanced Placement
Students who have taken advanced placement courses in secondary school and wish to be considered for advanced credit or placement must take Advanced Placement tests of The College Board. All entering students who submit a score of four or five on these tests may receive one course credit for each tested area toward the 32-course graduation requirement. Course credit for advanced placement will be lost if a student takes the equivalent course at Gettysburg.

Advanced Credit from College Courses
High school students who have taken regular courses at the college level in regionally accredited two or four-year colleges may receive credit for these courses.
Enrolled students will be asked to submit their official college transcripts to the Registrar for review.
