FAQs

What does the asterisk (*) indicate for course equivalencies?

Courses with * are general education core (BOG 8.005).

How are AP passing scores converted into FAMU equivalents?

The table lists an AP subject, the passing score range (such as 3, 4, or 5), and then the corresponding FAMU course code and credit hours earned.

Does the document include Cambridge AICE mappings in addition to AP?

Yes. It provides Cambridge AICE (British) equivalencies with AS-level and A-level grade outcomes mapped to FAMU equivalent courses and credit hours.
