Challenging a Course Registered ACU students may request to challenge an Abilene Christian University undergraduate course for which there is no listed CLEP, AP, or ACU Examination. Challenging a course means you are requesting to take a final exam for the course. Such requests must be approved by the respective academic departments which teach the course. A course challenge is a test designed, administered, and scored by the department offering the course.
Testing is arranged by the student and department chairperson.
You may pick up a Course Challenge form in the Testing Center. Testing after Enrolling Students who wish to test out of or place out of a course in which they are enrolled, MUST take the exam within the first week of a regular term, first two days of a summer term, or the first day of Maymester. Placement tests may be taken in a limited number of courses. When a student places out of a course, credit in the course is not earned. Students lose no tuition if they enroll in another course equal in credit hours to the course they place out of or earned credit within 24 hours or by the end of the first week or equivalent in a shorter term.
