Students may not receive credit by examination for courses that are prerequisites to courses for which they already have credit except with the approval of the department authorizing the exam. Credit earned via credit by examination will be replaced in a student's academic record when a passing grade is earned in the corresponding course. Credit earned via credit by examination, however, will not be forfeited as a result of aborted course attempts. Credit is posted to the academic record once appropriate scores are received by MARS and the student has officially enrolled in the university. Informal score reports or results of special administrations of national tests from other institutions are not accepted for credit.
Students can delete credit by examination at any point prior to graduation.
8.7.12 Officially enrolled students who believe they are proficient in the material of an undergraduate course may request that the offering department provide an appropriate opportunity for credit by examination. Department approval is required before an exam for a given course will be offered. Measurement and Research Services or academic departments may collect these fees.
