CREDIT BY EXAM

Only degree-seeking students from the Associate’s or Bachelor’s program may apply for credit by exam in the freshman courses only. Comprehension may be due to self-study or informal study with a scholar. Credits will be granted upon passing the evaluation test.

 Applicants should consider the following:

  • Review the textbook and the syllabus of the respective course thoroughly, and apply for evaluation only when ready.
  • The same evaluation test cannot be taken more than once during the same semester.
  • Pay the due fees prior to each attempt. Students on any kind of scholarship or special discount agreement are not waived from the test fees. 
  • The evaluation will consist of an Oral Exam and a Written Exam. Other requirements might be assessed upon the discretion of the examiner.
  • The minimum passing grade is 70%.

Call or email the Student Affairs Department should you have any questions or concerns.
