ELIGIBILITY CHECK LIST
REQUEST FOR CREDIT BY EXAMINATION
PRINT THIS PAGE FOR REFERENCE
Granting unit credit by examination for a course is based on the principle that previous experience, training, or instruction is the equivalent of a specific course taught by the college.
A student seeking credit by examination will receive a letter grade (A, B, C, D, F, P, NP) and grade points in the same way as if enrolled in a regular course. A student may challenge a course only once. Credit earned according to this policy shall not count toward determination of eligibility for veterans’s benefits. Credit by examination is possible in selected courses only.
There is a non-refundable $25.00 fee for the Credit by Examination Request Form (CERF). It is important students make sure they meet the eligibility requirements indicated in the ELIGIBILITY CHECK LIST below:
