The Advanced Placement exams and courses for which credit is granted are listed
below. Credit granted for a specific course counts toward the satisfaction of any
requirement toward which the listed course counts, with two exceptions: (1) Literature
and Writing Courses, if taken to satisfy the Level I Writing Requirement, must be
taken at Hendrix; and (2) Learning Domain requirements may not be satisfied by AP
credits. A maximum of six credits may be awarded for any combination of AP, IB and
Cambridge IE exams.
