Advanced Placement Credit
These examinations are for students in high school. Upon receipt of an official score from the College Board, Nevada State College grants credit as specified and assigns a grade of "S" for scores that are a minimum of 3, unless otherwise noted. These credits assigned may be in the form of either elective or course credit, as specified below.
Those students who successfully complete CBAPE examinations in French, German, Latin, or Spanish will satisfy the foreign language requirements.
