If you have taken AP courses and had your scores sent to MLC, the courses you received credit for will be listed on your unofficial transcript on the MLC Portal by approximately July 10. The unofficial transcript is located on the MLC Portal. (After logging in, click “Grades” and select “Unofficial Transcript”). The AP courses along with the scores required are listed in the MLC Undergraduate Catalog, page 25.

If the AP courses you received credit for are freshmen courses, you can choose to take other courses in their place. Suggested courses to take are HIS2113 Modern West, PED1301 Fitness for Life, Phy Ed activity courses, SSC3210 World Regional Geography, Keyboard (Education majors only), or courses in your major.

If your program plan calls for a Fine Arts Elective in the first year, MUS2201 Introduction to Fine Arts is available for you to schedule. If you wish to select a different course from the Fine Arts Electives on page 35 of the MLC Undergraduate Catalog and postpone taking the Fine Arts Elective until a later time, you can choose to take a different course such as HIS2113 Modern West, PED1301 Fitness for Life, Phy Ed activity courses, SSC3210 World Regional Geography, Keyboard (Education majors only), or courses in your major.
