We’ll be updating this list frequently. College admissions officers and other related staff, if your institution is not listed and you'd like us to make an update, please fill out this form .

These statements are difficult to find, and colleges often list them on their website without an announcement. We’ve included a quote and link to the source from each college's statement (see below).

It appears the vast majority of colleges will accept AP credits the same way they’ve accepted them in previous years. We’ve already counted more than 100 colleges who’ve confirmed that they will accept AP credits from the 2020 exams.

“ We’re confident that the vast majority of Higher Ed institutions will award credit as they have in the past. We’ve spoken with hundreds of institutions across the country who support our solution for this year’s AP Exams.”

Why did Prompt

Prompt saw COVID-19 as a “call to arms” for supporting students and educators. We talked with students and educators and found many students are anxious about AP exams and receiving less (or different) support preparing than they normally would.

We’ll be supporting thousands of students preparing for AP English and History Exams. We do this by providing personalized feedback consistent with AP rubrics on the practice exam essays students write. Our feedback on 3 practice exams costs less than the exam. We’ll also be providing thousands of free reviews to students receiving AP Exam fee waivers.

Princeton University: "Princeton academic departments are reviewing their credit policies for Advanced Placement (AP) tests administered in May 2020 because changes in coverage and format could affect the relationship between these tests and the material covered and assessed in analogous Princeton courses. Our primary concern is that students be placed appropriately for success in our sequenced courses, and so some language and science departments will require incoming students to take a Princeton test to confirm course placement and credit. Other departments, including economics, English, and history, have determined there will be no change in the credit policies for tests in these areas. Provisional IB and A-level score reports for 2020 will be used for placement purposes only." Source.
