Advanced Placement

The Advanced Placement Program is sponsored by the College Entrance Board. The examinations are administered at designated high school testing centers. Students will be awarded credit or exemption as indicated. A student who has taken Advanced Placement Program examinations should request that his or her scores be sent to the University Registrar at Illinois State University. To request grade reports for Advanced Placement Examinations completed, a student should write to Advanced Placement Exams, Box 6671, Princeton, NJ 08541-6671. In making the request, the student should include name, sex, date of birth, the year in which the examination was taken, and the name and identification number of the college to which the grade report should be sent. Illinois State University’s identification number is 1319. The College Board currently charges $8.00 for this service.
