American Council on Education's
College Credit Recommendation
Service
The University of Akron accepts the American Council on Education's College
Credit Recommendation Service (CREDIT).
CREDIT evaluates and makes credit recommendations for formal educational programs
and courses offered by organizations including business and industry, labor
unions, professional and voluntary associations, schools, training suppliers, and
government agencies. The program is based on the idea that it is sound educational
practice for colleges and universities to grant academic credit for high-quality
educational programs conducted by a variety of organizations provided that the
courses are appropriate to an individual's degree program.
Advanced Placement Credit
Many high schools offer special Advanced Placement courses through the auspices
of the Educational Testing Service for possible college credit. By enrolling in
such courses during high school, and taking the Advanced Placement Tests at
the end of each course, high school students may earn undergraduate credits in a
number of different academic areas. The test score required to receive credit for
a specific course is determined by the Academic Department in which the course
is offered. Credits earned in this manner are included in the total credits completed,
but are not assigned a grade and do not count in the quality-point ratio, class
standing, or graduation with honors calculations. Students must take the tests
while they are attending their high school. It is not possible to take the tests once
a student is enrolled at The University of Akron. The following table lists disciplines
available for Advanced Placement testing, scores required for accruing
credit, and courses at The University of Akron for which credit may be earned.

Bypassed Credit
Certain courses designated in this bulletin by each department enable an eligible
student to earn “bypassed” credit. An eligible student who completes such a
course with a grade of “C” or better may apply for and receive bypass credit for
designated prerequisite courses which carry the same departmental code numbers.
A student who completes such a course with a “C-”or lower will not be eligible
to apply for or receive bypass credit. If the prerequisite course is required for
graduation and the bypass attempt is unsuccessful, then the student must take
the prerequisite course. Credit for such bypassed prerequisites shall be included
in the total credits earned but shall not count in the quality point ration, class
standing or hours required for graduation with honors. Bypassed credit is not
awarded on the basis of completing a course either credit-by-examination or credit/noncredit,
or by completing a course as repeat for change of grade.
