If you have taken certain exams, you may be able to receive credit at UM.
The University of Miami will only award credit once the official A-Level, AS-Level, CAPE and Cambridge Pre-U exam certificate has been issued. Preliminary results, Statement of Results, and unofficial photocopies cannot be used to grant credit.
Once you have received your official A-Level, AS-Level, CAPE or Cambridge Pre-U exam certificate, submit the original exam certificate to the Office of Undergraduate Admission. You may do so using the following delivery methods:
