Can my son or daughter receive AP or IB credit?<br />
Yes. Credit from qualifying AP and IB scores can count toward your List College elective<br />
requirements. List adheres to Columbia and Barnard’s standards to determine how much AP<br />
credit to award and which AP subjects and scores are eligible for credit. You should arrange to<br />
have your AP scores sent to Columbia (Joint Program students) or Barnard (Double Degree<br />
students) for processing. A chart of AP and IB tests, scores, and credit available can be found in<br />
one of the following locations:<br />

How will I know whether my son or daughter is doing well?<br />
Grade reports are sent to students each semester. In accordance with federal law (commonly<br />
known as FERPA—Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974), copies of transcripts<br />
are generally sent only to the student at his or her permanent address. Letters informing<br />
students that they have made the Dean’s List (a minimum of 9 credits per semester with a GPA<br />
of 3.5 or better) are also sent to students. <strong>The</strong> best way to know how your son or daughter is<br />
doing is to ask him or her. Keep in mind that though we do not routinely contact parents, the List<br />
College Dean’s Office is always available to you. We urge you to keep the lines of<br />
communication open with your son or daughter during this time of transition, and we hope that<br />
you are able to share in his or her excitement as he or she moves forward on the path toward<br />
independence.<br />
