Advanced Placement (AP) Exams

Students who have received college-level training in secondary school and who present applicable scores on the appropriate Advanced Placement Examination will be granted, upon request, placement and credit for comparable courses at WC. All score reports must be submitted to the office of the Registrar. There are no grade points for this type of credit. A grade of “CR” will appear on the student’s transcript for this course following registration at WC. A maximum of 30 semester hours of credit from all sources of credit by examination may be applied toward a degree from WC.

Higher Math Placement

After successful completion of the TSI exam or proof of exemption, students may take a Next-Gen upper-level math exam to test out of Algebra into Pre-Cal. This exam needs Math Department permission but is completed in the Weatherford College testing center. Students need to complete this exam prior to attempting College Algebra.

Students who successfully complete the Next-Gen exam and are placed into Pre-Cal may take a departmental exam to assess into Calculus. For more information regarding the Math higher assessment process at Weatherford College, please visit with a math faculty member or an academic advisor.

International Baccalaureate Diploma (IBD) Program Credit

The International Baccalaureate Diploma is an international program of courses and exams offered at the high school level. Additional information about the International Baccalaureate Diploma program can be found at www.ibo.org. In keeping with Senate Bill 111 passed in 2005, Weatherford College will grant up to 24 hours of course specific college credit (CR) for IB exams scores of 4 or above as long as the incoming freshmen have earned an IB diploma. However, course credit does not have to be awarded on any IB exams where the score received is a 3 or less. This may mean that such students will not receive 24 hours of college credit, even if they have an IB diploma.

International Baccalaureate scores must be sent directly to the Registrar’s Office at Weatherford College from International Baccalaureate. This transcript must be received at least two weeks prior to the first day of classes for transcript evaluation and advising. In addition, students must show proof of meeting the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) requirements prior to their initial enrollment at the college. IBD course credit will be transcripted with a designation of CR after the applicant successfully completes the first semester of attendance at WC.

Weatherford College will not award a degree based solely upon the number of IBD credits transferred toward degree requirements. The college and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) policies require students to take 25% of credit hours through instruction at WC for graduation purposes.

Students submitting an IB transcript for credit evaluation should consider the total number of qualifying credits to be awarded. Additional hours above the required amount to graduate may have an adverse impact on students’ financial aid or other grant programs.
