Advanced Placement (AP)

During high school, you may have taken Advanced Placement (AP) tests. If you indicated on the AP exam that your scores should be sent to UB (or if you otherwise requested scores sent to UB), your AP credits should appear on your Transfer Credit Report.

If your AP credit does not appear on your Academic Advisement report, here are the steps you should take before contacting 1Capen:

• Call College Board’s toll-free number 1-888-CALL-4-AP.
• Ask if your scores were sent to SUNY Center Buffalo at school code 2925. The school code is very important!
• If scores were sent correctly, ask for the date the report was sent.
• If scores were not sent, ask that they be sent using our school code 2925.
• Be sure College Board sends scores for ALL the tests you’ve taken.
• Be sure your social security number is updated with College Board. If the Social Security Number is missing or wrong, this will delay processing.

Please emphasize school code 2925. It is the only thing that differentiates SUNY Center Buffalo (UB) from SUNY College Buffalo (Buffalo State).
