Advanced Placement
Advanced Placement (AP) results may be used to satisfy prerequisite requirements. You are still required to complete a recognized high school diploma (e.g. Ontario Secondary School Diploma) in addition to your AP courses. If you have achieved a minimum grade of 4 on certain advanced placement exams, you may be eligible to receive university credit. Engineering programs are not eligible for AP transfer credit consideration.
To be considered for transfer credit, you must have the College Board send your results directly to Lakehead University as soon as they are available. Your official results must be sent from the College Board directly to Lakehead University - Recruitment & Admissions.
