Examinations of the Advanced Placement Program administered by the College Entrance Examination Board, special placement examinations offered at Tufts University, or other evidence of preparation at the level of college work may be submitted for evaluation by the appropriate department. Such work may result in a student's being placed in an advanced course, but credit is awarded only for appropriate scores on standardized examinations. To determine course placement and credit, if any, based on advanced placement scores, consult the departmental listings below. 

Acceleration credits are treated as regular course credits and, where appropriate, are accepted in partial satisfaction of the foundation and distribution requirements of the College of Liberal Arts or the School of Engineering. If the content of a course has been covered by advanced placement, the student may not take that course for credit toward the degree. Students do not need to take the next level course in order to keep the AP credit (except where stated).
