Advanced PlacementOn This PageAdvanced Placement PolicyThe Stanford University Advanced Placement policy allows up to 10 units of credit per discipline for some of the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) Advanced Placement examinations. Stanford University awards a maximum of 45 units of credit for advanced placement examinations. AP examinations do not satisfy the General Education Requirements with the exception of the University Foreign Language requirement. AP scores of 4 or 5 in a foreign language satisfy the University Foreign Language requirement. AP credit may be applied as elective units toward graduation and toward the major if allowed by the major department. AP credit may be removed from your record if subsequent Stanford course work duplicates AP credit course content.
