Coursework completed through AP, IB or PSEO may not be repeated at CSB/SJU for additional credit. If you choose to enroll in the equivalent course at CSB/SJU, the AP, IB or PSEO credits will be removed from your CSB/SJU transcript.
- If you are registering for a course that you are repeating you must notify the Registrar’s Office.
