Florida International University
recognizes several programs that allow students to receive
college credit, accelerating their collegiate studies. These
programs are: Advanced Placement (AP),
Caribbean Advance Placement Examination(CAPE),
Dante's Subject Standardized Tests (DANTE/DSST),
International Baccalaureate (IB),
College-Level Examination
Program (CLEP), and
British Bases
A-Levels (GCE A-Levels).
Students must have official exam results sent directly to
the Office of Admissions, prior to enrollment.
Credit-by-Exam Equivalencies
Section 1007.27(2), Florida Statutes, requires the Articulation Coordinating Committee (ACC) to
establish passing scores as well as course and credit equivalents for Advanced Placement (AP),
Advanced International Certificate of Education Program (AICE/AS and A-Level), International
Baccalaureate (IB), and College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) exams. The
DANTES/DSST and Excelsior College exam equivalents on the list are not part of that
requirement, but are authorized by State Board of Education Rule 6A-10.024.
Florida International University uses the ACC-recommended equivalents for AP, AICE (AS and
A-Level), IB, CLEP, DANTES/DSST, and Excelsior College exams. Independent of the
ACC-approved list of exams, the University also awards credit for the Caribbean Advanced
Proficiency Examination (CAPE).
Exams that are not included as part of the ACC-approved list, including those taken outside the
U.S., are evaluated on an individual basis under the following conditions: (a) the student or
academic/faculty advisor initiates the evaluation, (b) the exams are fully recognized by a
legitimate educational governing body, (c) the exam title, score, and scoring scheme are included
as part of official transcripts or other official documentation forwarded to the University, and (d) detailed information regarding the exam content is offered. In accordance with State
guidelines, the final decision to award credit rests solely on the receiving institution (i.e., FIU).
