UT Austin awards course credit for a variety of exam types. All exams for which the university awards course credit or placement are listed below.
To search for a type of exam, select the down arrow on the Type drop-down menu, then click Search. Some exams or scores may award credit for multiple courses or allow students to choose from a list of course options. Which courses a student should petition for credit (claim) should first be discussed with an academic advisor to ensure relevance to the student's degree. Please contact Student Testing Services with any questions about the scores or courses awarded.
IB students who are entering the university as freshmen and earn the full IB Diploma should select IB Diploma. Students who enter the university as transfer students, or who do not earn the full IB Diploma, should select IB Certificate/Course Awarded.
Eligibility for credit is based on AP scores combined with the UT Austin Test on Texas Government. Only students with a score of at least 3 on the AP exam are eligible to take the Texas Government supplement, but a score of at least 3 does not guarantee credit in GOV 310L.
