Important Note About AP Scores

If listed in the checklist section of UC Merced Connect, ensure that any additional requirements such as, but not limited to, submission of AP exam scores, are received by the Office of Admissions by July 15, 2021, unless another date is specified on your checklist. This includes official results of external examinations, including International Baccalaureate (IB), A-Level examinations, or language proficiency exams such as TOEFL or IELTS.

NOTES FOR ENTERING TRANSFER STUDENTS:

If you reported AP or IB examinations passed with acceptable scores on your application, it is recommended that you have your official test scores sent to the Office of Admissions as a condition of your admission. If AP exams appear on your checklist in UC Merced Connect, they are required, and you must contact the appropriate testing agency immediately to have your official scores sent to the Office of Admissions.
