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 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 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.
