Procedure

  1. Prior to taking the exam, the student must obtain an application form from the Registrar’s Office.
  2. The student pays the credit by examination fee at the Business Office, obtaining the approval signature showing that payment was made.
  3. The student presents the form to the appropriate Department Chair who will make arrangements for the challenge exam or designate the examining professor.
  4. When the exam has been taken, the Department Chair or examining professor will indicate the grade (pass/fail) on the application form and return it to the Registrar’s Office.
  5. The Registrar records credit on the student’s transcript (pass/fail only) if the examination is passed. If the student fails the exam, no record is made on that student’s transcript, and the student will be required to take the courses or credits that were to have been waived by successful completion of the exam. Completion of the course is not required if it was intended to be elective credit.
