Arkansas Tech University recognizes the rigor of Advanced Placement (AP), College Level Examination Program (CLEP), and the International Baccalaureate Programme (IB). Students who earn qualifying scores on AP, CLEP, or IB examinations may receive credit toward graduation at Arkansas Tech University. These credits may be used to satisfy general education requirements.  

AP, CLEP, and IB scores should be documented on your application for admission. Submit official score reports or readable copies embossed by your high school to the Office of Admissions. Students who have earned International Baccalaureate (IB) credit should submit their IB transcript for evaluation.

In addition, Arkansas Tech University offers Credit for Prior Learning (CPL). Students can contact the appropriate academic department for information about Credit for Prior Learning (CPL).  

A maximum of 50% of credit earned through correspondence, extension, military service, credit by examination, or credit for prior learning may be applied toward a certificate or degree program.  Students who have already earned credit for a course may not receive duplicate credit for the same course through institutional credit. Institutional credit is not used to calculate a student's grade point average, and therefore, cannot be used to retain scholarship awards.
