Accelerated Education Opportunities

The University of Central Florida provides a number of options by which students may shorten the time required to complete the baccalaureate degree. These options permit the University to recognize high levels of academic achievement and acquisition of knowledge prior to or during attendance at the University. Procedures that may be used include the Advanced Placement Program (AP), the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), University Course Credit by Examination, DANTES, and the International Baccalaureate. A maximum of 45 credit hours in any combination of extension, AP, IB, correspondence, CLEP, Armed Forces Service School Credits, and University Credit by Examination will be accepted by the University for application toward an undergraduate degree. Credit earned by acceleration mechanisms also applies toward satisfaction of the Summer Attendance Requirement. In addition, there are accelerated Undergraduate Graduate Programs linking the bachelors and Master’s degree listed in the Undergraduate Catalog.

Test credit is applied according to the published policy at the time the credit is received and posted by the university.
