Credit by Examination: Academic Year 2014-15

Credit by examination policies are reviewed annually and are subject to change for the following academic year. The below policies are effective for the 2014-15 academic year.

Examinations Administered in High School

澳门六合彩预测 grants credit and placement for scores of 4 or 5 on most Advanced Placement examinations taken in high school (see table below). Credit will be awarded only for exams taken while in high school. Students may not receive credit for an AP exam, an International Baccalaureate exam and a college course covering the same subject matter; i.e., the course equivalency will only be awarded once. Credit by examination granted at 澳门六合彩预测 is considered resident credit.

An official copy of test results must be sent from the testing agency to the University Registrar’s Office for credit. To facilitate advising and enrollment, students should submit their official scores no later than the first day of class.

College-Level Examination Program

澳门六合彩预测 gives credit for CLEP subject examinations based on the specified minimum scores below:

CLEP Exam	Score (out of 80)	Credits Awarded	Course Credited
American Literature	60	3 Hours	ENGL 20XX*
English Literature	60	3 Hours	ENGL 20YY*
Macro Economics	60	3 Hours	ECO 1312
Micro Economics	60	3 Hours	ECO 1311

*Students may submit formal requests to the Office of the University Curriculum to have this credit satisfy the Creativity and Aesthetics Pillar Level I requirement.

澳门六合彩预测 Departmental Examinations

澳门六合彩预测 also awards credit for departmental examinations offered in a variety of disciplines. Such 澳门六合彩预测 credit may not transfer automatically to other universities. Credit for examinations awarded by other institutions will not transfer to 澳门六合彩预测.

World Languages

All students whose native language is English are required to take a language placement examination. Scores on these examinations determine the world language competency of entering students so that they may be placed in classes appropriate to their level of achievement and degree program. Students may not enroll in a course below the level of their placement. When the student has successfully completed the course with a grade of Cor above, the student will retroactively earn up to 16 term hours of University credit for the preceding courses in the beginning and intermediate levels of the language sequence. Students must enroll in the world language courses for a letter grade (not pass/fail) for the course to serve as a basis for granting retroactive credit. Language courses taken at other institutions cannot be used as a basis for granting retroactive credit. Although students may earn retroactive credit in more than one language, the maximum aggregate credit involving more than one language allowed to count toward graduation is 16 term hours.

Physics

The Physics Department offers placement exams for PHYS 1303 and 1304. The placement exam, which must be taken in the first term that the student enrolls at 澳门六合彩预测, is based on the final exam in the PHYS 1303 and 1304 courses. The department does not allow test credit for labs (e.g., PHYS 1105, 1106, 4211). The essential element of the lab is the hands-on experience; therefore, substitutes will not be accepted.
