Grading criteria is listed in the Introduction section of each study guide. Exams are not mailed or administered until all lessons and previous exams have been received. Most courses require one or more examinations, to be completed in an approved, proctored location arranged by the student. Each study guide contains exam applications and instructions for taking exams at locations other than the SWT Correspondence Office. Students attending SWT, or living in or near San Marcos, can take exams at the Office of Correspondence Studies.
Appointments are necessary, with twenty-four hour notice.
Students taking an examination at another location should allow three weeks additional time to meet any deadline. If the chosen exam site charges a fee for administering the test, it is your responsibility to pay the fee. Regardless of the location, you must present a valid picture I. D. before taking the exam. Mail or fax all exam request forms under a separate cover. Academic honesty guidelines also can be found in the study guide and in the SWT Official Student Handbook and Code of Conduct.
