No credits are awarded for subject exams which are pre-requisites for a course previously passed. If a student appears to have unusual qualifications, a prospective student or a regularly enrolled student may petition the appropriate department chair for an advanced standing examination. No petition can be granted after the student is enrolled in or taken the course for credit or audit. An exam fee is required before the administration of the exam by the department. FHSU accepts credit by examination as described above.
Departments determine minimum test levels.
Fort Hays State University has a liberal policy on the acceptance of credit by examination and ACE-approved courses for military personnel pursuing the BGS degree. Credit is awarded based on the recommendations in the American Council on Education's Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services. No credit is awarded for a course that is a pre-requisite for a course previously passed. For the purpose of transfer credits, ACE-approved courses are not considered credits by examination. Total credit by exam and ACE-approved credits cannot exceed 64.
