Please Note: LL refers to courses at the lower (100 and 200) level.  Any test at the Advanced or Subsidiary level not listed may be reviewed for credit at UMCP.  Students may not receive credit both for CIE courses and for equivalent UMCP courses or transfer courses (including Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate).  CIE credit will be deleted in such cases.  Applicable grades for a particular exam are those in effect when a student takes the exam.  Contact your College Dean if you have questions.

Certain CIE tests may be developed or revised during the year.  At the time this catalog was implemented, information on those tests was not available.  Changes are possible in UMCP credit acceptance for revised CIE exams.
