Credit by Examination

Credit by Examination may be allowed for a given course if a regularly enrolled student can demonstrate the required level of proficiency (“C” or better) as a result of previous academic or work experience. No credit by examination can be allowed for courses that have been previously audited. This credit will be based on a departmental examination at the discretion of and under the direction of the Department Chair in which the course is offered. The exam must be completed by the 10% point of the course. Credit hours will count toward graduation; they will not be computed in grade point average as grades and grade points will not be recorded. Applications for Credit by Examination must be processed in the Office of Admissions and Records. Course tuition at the current in-state or out-of-state rate must be paid except in case of full-time students taking 16 or more hours for whom there would be no additional charge. Credit by Exam excludes a student from academic honors such as the President’s List or Dean’s List.
