Often Advanced Placement (AP Scores) are not reported until mid-summer. As a result, you may not know your exact score when attending your Advising and Registration session. In that case, you’ll work with an advising professional to determine course selection and adjust as needed once AP Scores have been reported. 
 
To request AP Scores be sent to Minnesota State University, Mankato use https://www.collegeboard.org or mail official scores to:
