Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examinations (CAPE)
Students entering Georgia Tech may receive college credit based upon their scores on the College Board Advanced Placement (AP) Exams taken in conjunction with designated high school advanced placement classes, SAT II Subject Tests, The International Baccalaureate, Advanced Levels (A-Levels), and/or Georgia Tech Departmental Exams.
Once enrolled at Georgia Tech, students are not allowed to take College Board (Advanced Placement and SAT II), International Baccalaureate, or A-Level Examinations for credit. All examinations must be completed prior to the student's enrollment date. Students who offer satisfactory evidence that they are qualified to do so may receive credit for a course by examination at Georgia Tech. Such an examination is called an Examination for Advanced Standing.
Official transcript is required, provisional results will not be accepted.
**NOTE: Addition of ENGL credit is for first-year students starting 2024-25.
