School Exemption Exams

A student may earn credit in certain courses on the basis of acceptable scores on departmental examinations. Academic departments may, on an optional basis, establish and administer approved examinations for courses that are listed as prerequisites to other courses. When a student passes such an examination, it is reported to the Office of the Registrar on the Examination Credit Form by the Academic Dean. The Registrar will record the course on the student's record showing the course number and title and indicate that it was credited by examination.

Inquiries concerning available program exams should be directed to the faculty advisor. Students who pass the exam will have their credits recorded on their transcript. No record is made for students who do not pass program exams. The fee for academic credit by examination is 25% of the cost of tuition for the course. Credit earned by examination is not intended for transfer.
