Course Challenges

Students may request to receive credit for a course by special examination. Procedures and general guidelines for course challenges are as follows:

1. A student who requests to challenge a course must complete challenge requirements before the last day to add. Prerequisites apply for all courses taken on a challenge basis. Some courses are not challengeable and challenged courses must be paid for like other courses.
2. A maximum of 12 credits will be allowed for challenge courses.
3. All challenge tests must be approved by the Dean of Academics.
