Students may be granted college credit for each advanced placement test score of three, four, or five. These courses will count toward those required for the degree. The courses may or may not count toward the requirement of the major, depending upon a particular program's policy. In some instances, a score of four or five is required by a program for credit.

Regis College recognizes the rigors of the International Baccalaureate program. Transcripts of students in such programs are evaluated on an individual basis by the Vice President of Academic Affairs to determine the number of college credits to be awarded. The credits for this evaluation include the student's academic performance during the program and outcome as demonstrated by final grades.

First-year students should submit a completed online application and:

1. $40 application fee (check or money order payable to Regis College)
2. Official high school transcript or official GED Score report, along with official high school transcript of any courses completed
3. First quarter senior grades/midterm grades
4. Official results from either the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) (if English is your native language), American College Testing Program (ACT), or TOEFL scores (if English is not your native language)
5. Two letters of recommendation on official letterhead — (1) guidance, (1) teacher
6. Interview — strongly encouraged
