Students pay the appropriate test fee and complete the computer-based exam. The Assessment Office provides a score report to the student and to the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs for all tests except English Composition with essay. The Vice President s Office notifies the Registrar of the exam results and, if the score meets or exceeds DSU s standards, the Registrar enters the credit for the exam on the student s transcript. ETS sends a score report to the student and to the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. A grade of C or better is required on the exam to earn course credit.
Students discuss the proposal with the dean of the college that offers the course.
With the approval of the dean, students complete the Application for Credit by Examination form available through Enrollment Services office or web site. Current costs for challenge exams are noted in the university catalog. The faculty person identified on the form administers and grades the exam and the exam results are reported to the dean. The dean notifies the student and the Registrar of the outcome. Only successful exams are noted on the student s transcript.
