Can AP exams be transferred for college credit post high school?

Okay, so I was thinking ahead and I'm curious, can you take AP exams later on, like during college, to get credits or are they only for high school students? Anyone know how this works?

Hello there! Certainly, it is possible to take AP exams after high school; the AP exams are not limited to high school students. If you think you can review the material on your own and are confident you can do well, you can register as an independent student through the College Board. However, you should check with the college you are attending or plan to attend to ensure they will award credit for AP exams taken after high school, as policies can vary by institution. For instance, some colleges might have restrictions on accepting AP credits based on your status as an enrolled student or the time elapsed since high school. It's always a good idea to consult with the registrar or an academic advisor at your college to get the most accurate information for your specific case.
