POLICY

A student may, upon submission of a completed Credit by Examination form to The Testing Center, take a proficiency examination in order to receive credit for selected courses. A $50 fee is charged for each proficiency examination taken and must be paid prior to scheduling the exam. Upon successfully passing the examination, the earned credit will be officially entered onto the transcript as a grade of “CE.”

POLICY GUIDELINES

A credit by examination for any course may be taken only one time. The exam must be taken prior to the completion of the first five business days of the semester in which the student desires to take the exam. Students may apply for and take the exam prior to enrollment. In some situations, exams can be scheduled throughout the semester. Students who fail a course are not permitted to apply for credit by examination and must retake the failed course. Students who do not pass a credit by examination will not be permitted to gain credit by completing another proficiency exam.

Credits earned by proficiency examinations may not be accepted by other colleges for transfer credit.
