Advanced Standing Credit

A variety of helpful resources, including a recording of the July 14 webinar, placement information, and guides for navigating Workday, can be found on the New Students advising webpage. https://www.bentley.edu/offices/academi c-services/your-first-year

If you have credentials to be considered for potential Advanced Standing Credit (AP result, IB results, A Levels, etc.), please be sure to submit your official documentation to the Office of Undergraduate Admission as soon as it is available. The final deadline for submitting this documentation is October 15, 2021, but as this potential credit could impact your fall schedule, it is most helpful to submit the credentials now.
