Credit By Examination


Students are permitted, within limits, to obtain credit by examination (CLEP) in lieu of regular enrollment and class attendance, but no more than 30 credit hours earned through examination may be counted toward graduation.

To receive credit by examination, students must complete the Credit By Examination form (available in Student Services Center), obtain the signatures of the respective departmental dean or chair and instructor, and arrange for an administration of the exam with the appropriate instructor.

The form must be returned to the Office of the Registrar prior to the listed add/drop deadline of that term and prior to administering the exam. The grade received on the exam should be submitted by the instructor through Banner Web at the end of the term.
