Hello all,
Just FYI for anyone (like me) that didn’t know: students need to let their advisor know if they have passing scores for the AP Seminar & Research exams. Since AIS credit is only granted to students that earn a 3 or better on
both exams, the credit has to be awarded manually. The advisor would email
Suzanne.Stokes@utsa.edu to have the AIS 1203 credit awarded. I’ve requested that these instructions be added to the
AP Credit area of the catalog.
The AP Research exam is normally taken in the student’s senior year of high school, so incoming students likely won’t have the Research score until July. If they think they may pass both the Seminar and Research exams, we should definitely
remind them to follow-up in July because many students end up taking AIS instead of accepting their credit. Out of the 21 eligible students I reviewed, less than half had their AP credit awarded (the rest ended up taking AIS during their first year).
