Thanks to the Registrar’s Office, the Office of General Education has now automated Advanced Placement (AP) credit (of scores 4 or 5) to satisfy particular Proficiency and Experience graduation requirements. Specifically, AP credit will satisfy the following:
Civics and Individual Ethics (CIE)
- AP Comparative Government and Politics
- AP US Government and Politics
Quantitative Applications (QA)
- AP Chemistry
- AP Environmental Science
- AP Macroeconomics
- AP Microeconomics
- AP Physics (Mechanics)
- AP Physics (Electricity and Magnetism)
Therefore, students admitted after fall 2020 need not complete individual petitions to meet applicable graduation requirements. This credit will be reflected on their Degree Progress Report on or before March 20, 2023. Soon after, impacted students will be notified via their SMU email.
Retroactive updates will be made to affected students; future students will receive this credit automatically.
If faculty and academic advisors discover errors with an affected student’s DPR, please submit a DPR Issues/Requests to the Office of the Registrar.
