I noticed that my Advanced Placement exam credit was not among my college transfer credits, and I emailed my college to ask them why. They said my high school didn't include my AP records, so, despite having my U.N.O. college transcript which indicates I had entered with credit in English and wasn't required to take freshman composition, they don'

Perhaps if you take the course but discuss your situation with those profs teaching it you'll be able to get a similar pass.
Note:
Actually it was rather fun.

I might have done the papers on my own anyway.

When I took AP Chemistry, I took the class through my high school, and that was fine and dandy, but they weren't the ones that gave AP credit - I had to take the AP Chemistry test which was not administered through my school - the scores were sent to my school, but not part of my official school transcript. (I got a 3 - enough for elective credit, but not enough to pass out of Chemistry) ;)
Anyway - you should be able to get a transcript from the testing agency (for a fee of course)...

From here. Basically, your AP grades were sent directly to the college, not to your high school. Or at least that's how it looks like they're doing it these days. (I could have taken one or two AP exams but didn't, so this is all from their Web site.)
At work, I keep thinking about how one of the things that college students need to learn is how to hack the bureaurcracy. Go you for using the resources at hand (including LJ).

When I went on to USC, I had to provide proof that I took the AP Chem test, and my score (in the form of my score report that I had a copy of that had been mailed to me)...it was based on this score report, and not my official transcripts, that they determined whether or not I passed out of Chem 105, qualified for Honors Chem 105, had basic Chem 105, with elective credit, or nothing at all...a 3 qualified me for the 3rd option.
In this particular case, I'm not so sure this would qualify as hacking the bureaucracy so much as learning to navigate the system - the system for older score reports has been around for a while. BTW - this is the *same* process for older SATs and GREs - and the same authority to go to.

It's ok, I'm gonna work it out. It's just a pain in the ass to do so. ::sigh::
