Final examinations administered at the close of each term in accordance with a prepared schedule of examinations. Final examinations must be written on the days and at the hours scheduled. Under certain circumstances, a currently registered student may receive credit by examination for a course in which he or she has not been regularly enrolled. Each department or division may determine those courses, if any, for which credit may be earned by examination. Credit by examination may be awarded through nationally standardized tests or through institutionally devised tests.
Students pay a test fee directly to the test service.
No institutional fees are involved. Interested students may inquire at the Records Office or at the Student Development Center for specific information on how credit earned by examination may be applied to particular degree requirements, including General Education Requirements. Official score reports must be sent to the Records Office before any Satisfactory credits are posted to the student's permanent record. Credits earned by standardized examination do not carry letter grade or honor point values, nor are they considered credits earned in residence. Such credits posted to the Minot State transcript may not transfer to other institutions.
