I'm working on my application but extremely confused about the transcript process. I recieved credit from a college while still in highschool for concurrent credit but I don't know how to enter it on my CASPA. Also I took AP tests that counted for equivalnacy credits in college, again how do I appropriately enter this in.

I am also slightly confused about how to enter transfer/AP credits. I took AP course (and they appear on my college transcript) dated in 2006-2008. But I started attending university in 2008-2012. Do I extend my university attendance dates to include those AP credits? Then it would show that my attendance was from 2006-2012?#N#Quote
