Academic Polices and Procedures : Credit by Examination

All requests to challenge courses by examination must be approved by the Instructional Department Chairpersons.
For developmental courses numbered below 100, the student must register for the class prior to challenging the course. If the student succeeds in passing the examination with a “C” grade or better, the student will be allowed to add the next level class and drop the challenged class. The challenged class will not appear on the student’s transcript. An add/drop extension will be granted through the first week of classes.

For courses numbered 100 or above, the student must register for the class prior to challenging the class. If the student succeeds in passing the examination with a “C” grade or better, the student will be awarded an “E” grade.
If the student fails the examination, no grade is entered and the student may continue with the course. Examinations for course credit may be taken only once. “E” grades for Credit by Examination will not be counted toward overall GPA and CGPA. Additionally, credits earned by examination are not covered under federal financial aid. Please check with the Financial Aid Office for the information.
