Credit by Examination

Enrolled students may take comprehensive examinations to receive credit in certain courses. Upon successful completion of the examination, they will receive “K” credit.

A request to attempt to receive credit by examination requires approval by the instructor, the department chairperson, and the college dean. The college dean has the responsibility of filing the approval form with the Registrar. If the examination is successfully completed, the instructor submits a grade of “K” as the final grade at the end of the semester and the transcript indicates that the course was taken by examination. If a student does not complete the examination successfully, no grade is given. Students receiving “K” credit are required to pay the regular tuition and fees before the credit is recorded.
