Testing is one means of evaluating extrainstitutional learning. Testing methods include institutionally prepared examinations, institutionally administered performance testing, and standardized national tests especially designed for the establishment of credit. Only those courses for which the minimum passing score is attained will be recorded. Advanced Standing Examinations Advanced standing credit can be earned at Southeastern by evaluating a student's previous learning experiences through testing.
Most departments offer some courses by examination.
Students should consult with the chair of the department offering the course of interest as to whether it can be taken by examination. Application forms for these examinations can be obtained from the office of the appropriate academic dean. Administration of the examination and the granting of the credit must be approved by the respective department chair and the academic dean of the school. For other courses offered by examination, contact the department chair of the course of interest. High school counselors assist students with testing arrangements.
