• Do many universities give college credits for AICE exams passed?

    Yes. CIE publishes a list on their website (http://recognition.cie.org.uk/) of U.S. universities that have provided written statements of their AICE (which includes AS and A Levels) recognition policy. All public universities and community colleges in Florida award up to 45 hours of college credits for AICE exams passed. Private universities in Florida and universities outside of the state of Florida may have specific admission requirements for some courses and will vary in the amount of credit given to AICE students, so it is advisable to contact the university directly for information on credits students can earn.

    In addition, the Florida Department of Education recognizes the AICE program as an official acceleration mechanism and is included in the Bright Futures Scholarship Program as an additional means to earn scholarship monies. Students who earn the AICE Diploma, and have 100 community service hours, automatically receive the Academic Scholars Award. Students who complete the diploma program, but do not earn the diploma can still earn the Academic Scholars Award with appropriate SAT and ACT test scores. The Medallion Scholars Award is available to AICE Program completers as well for students who do not meet the high level SAT and ACT score requirements. 

    University Course Equivalents

    The Florida Department of Education has established credit course equivalencies for AICE, AP and IB programs. The Statewide Articulation Manual provides a detailed description of all those agreements. The CREDIT-BY-EXAM EQUIVALENCIES report outlines the credit equivalencies that should be rewarded for successful completion of these exams.

    Other universities throughout the United States accept AICE credits. These universities' policies may be accessed on the CIE website. If a university does not currently accept AICE credits, CIE will contact that institution to discuss the policy. If this is the case, please give Mrs. Matthews the name of the university and your contact (if possible).
