Note:
Courses for which AP credits have been earned cannot be used as a basis for earning back credits. However, students who have earned AP credits may also earn back credits for 101-202 courses for which AP credits were not awarded if they complete an appropriate higher-level language course at UH-Mānoa with a grade of C or better.
Example: A student who scored 4 on the AP exam in Spanish earned 3 AP credits for SPAN 202. The student also completed SPAN 301 at UH-Mānoa with a grade of B and earned 12 credits (3 credits for 301 and 9 back credits for SPAN 101, 102, and 201).
For more information about back credits, please contact the relevant department.
