Incoming freshmen who have completed Advanced Placement (A.P.) study and/or college-level coursework may be eligible for "advanced standing" at Dominican and, following a review of credits, for exemption from coursework at the University. Students who have completed A.P. study, and who believe they earned a grade of "3" or above on the A.P. Test of the College Entrance examination Board, should request that an official grade report on the test be sent directly to the Office of the Academic Dean.
Students who have completed college-level coursework with a grade of "C" or above should have the sponsoring college or university send an official transcript to the Office of Admissions.
Students should note that some graduate programs at Dominican and at other institutions may not accept A.P. and/or dual enrollment college credits earned while in high school in fulfillment of prerequisite entrance requirements. Students who may be interested in pursuing a graduate degree after graduating from Dominican should consider retaking such courses at Dominican during their undergraduate studies.
Please see “English” section for information regarding using A.P. or other college-level high school courses in fulfillment of Dominican University New York’s Writing Sequence requirements.
