Hello All,
Attached you will find a memo clarifying that a student can still accept AP World History
credit for HIS 2123 or 2133 even if they have already earned credit for one of these
courses.
Our
catalog<https://catalog.utsa.edu/undergraduate/nationalstandardizedtes...
shows that students can accept credit for either HIS 2123 or HIS 2133 but not both (see
below).

The below statement in the student policies section mentions that students cannot be
awarded credit-by-exam if they have already earned credit for the course from a college or
university. Some students have been told they cannot accept credit for either HIS 2123 or
2133 if they have already earned credit for one of the courses. HIS 2123 & 2133 are
not equivalents, so if a student earns credit for one of the courses, they can still
accept AP credit for the other course. Awarding AP credit for the alternative course would
not result in duplicate credit, so it is still compliant with the below policy.

If a student earns credit for one of these courses before accepting their AP credit, an
email will need to be sent to
Suzanne.Stokes@utsa.edu<mailto:Suzanne.Stokes@utsa.edu> to have credit for the other
course awarded. If the student has not yet taken one of these courses, they will only see
one of the course options listed in the credit-by-exam area of ASAP (ASAP isn't
programmed to allow a student to choose between the courses). We will need to email
Suzanne if the student wants to accept credit for the course not shown in ASAP.
