Exam Credit Typically Appears in 6-8 Weeks

It typically takes six to eight weeks from the time a student requests an exam score report until the time it appears on their Academic Advising Report, in the current semester for AP credit or after the student’s first mgm casino semester for other exam credit types. If the student does not see the exam credit on their Academic Advising Report after six weeks, first confirm that the score report was sent to mgm casino. If it was sent, the student should then call the Office of the Registrar to check to make sure that the transcript was received and is being processed.

If AP Credits Do Not Appear on Academic Advisement Report

  • Call  toll-free number 1-888-CALL-4-AP.
  • Ask if the scores were sent to SUNY Center Buffalo at school code 2925. If scores were sent correctly, ask for the date the report was sent.
  • If scores were not sent, ask that they be sent using our school code 2925.
  • Be sure College Board sends scores for all the tests the student has taken.
  • Be sure the student’s Social Security Number is updated with College Board; if the Social Security Number is missing or wrong, this will delay processing.
