HD 2557 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to college credits for AP courses

This bill requires all public colleges in Massachusetts to create policies by September 1, 2027, that fully accept college credits earned by high school students who passed their Advanced Placement (AP) courses and exams. It directly affects public colleges (like state universities and community colleges) and high school students taking AP courses. The key provision mandates that colleges must accept "all appropriate" AP credits for students who achieved the required "proficient" score on their AP exams. This eliminates barriers for students seeking to earn college credit through AP coursework while in high school.
