AP credit transfer 

Marquette awards credit in recognition for performance on the AP examinations. A student may choose to take the credits awarded or take the equivalent course at Marquette. Pre-med and pre-dent students are encouraged to consult with a pre-health adviser before accepting AP credit awards. 
 
Please note that Marquette will not accept AP scores or AP-awarded transfer credit from other college or university transcripts, as accepted scores vary by institution. AP scores must be sent directly from the College Board.
