Excluding AP and IB scores and their earned credit

When a student elects to take a course at TU for which they have previously earned credit via AP or IB examination, credit must be removed from SHATCKN and test scores must be suppressed in SOATEST

Records requiring exclusions are sent to us via the Repeat Report with RRRR Info (CR-REGR-052)_(term).
