Cambridge International
Walla Walla University recognizes A Level and AS Level curriculum as a challenging academic program that provides excellent preparation for university study.
In general, up to a full year of quarter credits may be granted for A Level exams with a passing grade. AS Level exams with a passing grade may be awarded half the credit allowed for the A Level course. A Level or AS Level exams credits are awarded on an S/NC grading basis.
Credits will be awarded with equivalencies for specific WWU courses as available. Non-WWU equivalency exams may be applied as general elective credit. See below for further information about WWU course designations. Other exams not listed below may be considered for credit by contacting the WWU Academic Records Office.
Credit awarding policies are reviewed on a regular basis and are subject to change.
