Other Credit-Acquisition Opportunities

Marymount participates in a number of programs that award credit to students for achievement or work experience, such as:

Advanced Placement (AP): Applicants who seek advanced placement because they have taken one or more of the AP examinations should have the examination results sent to the Office of Admissions prior to enrollment. First-year and transfer students who have earned a qualifying score may be granted credit. Advanced credit earned in this manner by entering first-year and transfer students may fulfill any university or program graduation requirement. For a list of AP subject examinations, the Marymount course for which a student may earn credit(s), and the score required to earn those credit(s), please visit the Office of the Registrar website.

International Baccalaureate (IB): A student who does work based on college-level studies in an International Baccalaureate program in a secondary school can earn college credits through IB examinations. Subjects examined at the higher level (HL) with an earned qualifying grade will be considered for transfer credit. Credit will not be awarded at the standard level (SL). Any student interested in receiving credit through the IB program should arrange for an official grade report to be sent directly to the Office of Admissions. For a list of IB subject examinations, the Marymount course for which a student may earn credit(s), and the score required to earn those credit(s), please see the IB information on the Office of the Registrar website.

Cambridge International Exams: A-Levels: Credit is awarded for grades of A, B, or C. No credit is awarded for AS- or O-level work.

College-Level Examination Program (CLEP): Credit may be awarded for the CLEP subject examinations depending upon the score earned. The university follows the guidelines recommended by the American Council on Education (ACE) for awarding credit. The student’s university record will carry a notation of credit, but no grade will be awarded. The university does not recognize credits from CLEP general examinations. Undergraduate students interested in receiving credit for CLEP examinations should arrange for their official score reports to be sent directly from the Educational Testing Service to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. For a list of CLEP subject examinations, the Marymount course for which a student may earn credit(s), and the score required to earn those credit(s), please visit the Office of the Registrar website.

French Baccalaureate: Credit is granted for subjects with a minimum grade of 10. No credit is awarded for English or French language.

Other ACE-Reviewed Examinations: Credit may be awarded for other subject examinations based on ACE guidelines and additional review by Marymount faculty.

Northern Virginia Community College Prior Learning Activity for Credit Evaluation: Credit may be awarded for NOVA PLACE courses based on existing equivalencies.

Credit for Military Training: Credit may be awarded for military training after the student's school director and associate dean evaluates the official Joint Service Transcripts (JST) or Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) transcripts.

Credit for Industry-Standard Certifications: Credit may be awarded for industry-standard certifications or credentials. Certification must be current and awarded within five years of the student’s first semester at Marymount. Credit will only be awarded if the competencies required for the certification meet industry standards and the learning outcomes or competencies for
the Marymount course. All requests for credit for certifications must be reviewed by Marymount faculty and approved by the school’s associate dean. An official copy of the student’s certification must be provided in order to receive credit.
