Transfer and Advanced Placement Credit Applicability in Purdue College of Agriculture Plans of Study
Increasingly, students matriculate to Purdue academic programs with prior credit for college-level work. Whether this was college work transferred to Purdue, advanced placement credit, or dual-degree credit for work completed while in high school, these are the guidelines regarding credit use.
If a course shows up on the Purdue transcript with a prefix and number with TR (transfer) or CR (credit), it may be used toward any degree requirement as though the course was completed at Purdue with a passing grade (For example, HIST 10400 TR can be a UCC humanities selection.) Students cannot receive duplicate credit for the same course and the latest transcript posting applies. (For example, if a student has CHM 11500 CR on the transcript but chooses to take CHM 11500 for credit and earns an B, only 4 credits of CHM 11500 with the B can apply toward the degree.)
Some transfer and prior work appears on the transcript as undistributed credit. (For example, HIST 1XXXX course.) These courses are not equivalent to any Purdue course; their use on a plan of study is possible, but not guaranteed. Students will not receive credit multiple times for repeated identical subject matter.
Advanced Placement (AP) Test scores of 4 or 5 lead to Purdue course equivalents on the transcript and this course listing is included on
Purdue Admissions web pages. For applicability of AP credits earned with a 3 on the AP test (which result in undistributed credit) to Purdue Agriculture Plans of Study, refer to the example and table below.
Undistributed credit (AP score of 3 leading to 1XXXX credit) cannot be used to meet
University Core requirements; if an Agriculture requirement which is typically used to meet a University Core requirement is met with 1XXXX course, the University Core requirement remains unmet.
Example: AP credits earned as Biology which show up on a Purdue transcript as BIOL 1XXXX may be used in an Agriculture plan of study as elective unless there are earned Purdue credits in BIOL 11000 (in which case, the BIOL 1XXXX credits are redundant and cannot apply toward the degree).
