The University of Illinois recognizes the value of the Advanced
Placement (AP) Program and the International Baccalaureate (IB)
Programme. However, students should be aware that there are times
when it is in the student’s best interest to take the UIUC course
that corresponds to the AP or IB credit instead of accepting the
test-based credit, so as to be better prepared for the rigors of the
subsequent course in the sequence. Students are able to consult with
their academic advisors during Summer Registration in order to
determine what will be most appropriate for their individual plan of
study.
New undergraduate students who have not already earned college-level credit in the subject
are allowed to take a UIUC departmental proficiency exam in math, biology, chemistry, physics,
French, German, or Spanish if they wish to try to proficiency out of an introductory course.
