When will exam credit appear on my UB record?

It typically takes six to eight weeks from the time you request an exam score report untill the time it shows up on your DARS report, in the current semester for AP credit or after your first UB semester for other exam credit types. If you do not see the exam credit on your DARS report after 6 weeks, first confirm that the score report was sent to UB. If it was sent, you should then call Academic Advising, toll free, at 1-866-838-7257 and check to make sure that the transcript was received and is being processed.
