June: First Steps

AP, Cambridge, CLEP, Dual Enrollment, IB

Wofford policies regarding the acceptance of degree credits earned prior to a student graduating from high school are aimed at rewarding academic achievement while sustaining the belief that the most fulfilling Wofford experience is one that encompasses all four years. Wofford values the academic preparation a student undertakes while in high school whether that is through traditional high school courses, advanced placement, or dual enrollment, but considers that work foundational. Consequently, new first-year students are limited in the number of credit hours they can be awarded prior to matriculation. These limits are as follows:

  1. A maximum of 24 credit hours earned prior to enrollment may be awarded to first-year students from all sources, including but not limited to Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, dual enrollment, CLEP and all other college credit.
  2. Students who legitimately exceed the 24 credit hour limit may choose which credits will apply. Students may adjust their credits at any time by contacting the Registrar’s Office.
  3. Immaterial of the credit granted, individual programs have the prerogative to determine equivalencies, waive lower-level requirements and place students in appropriate courses.
