Credit by examination policies are reviewed annually and are subject to change for the following 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. AP test scores are evaluated and 澳门六合彩预测 course credit is assigned based on the articulation policies in effect for the term students matriculate to the University, regardless of when the test was taken.
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. Students may decline all or part of their test credit in favor of taking the equivalent credit at 澳门六合彩预测; declining credit is an irrevocable declaration. Credit by examination granted at 澳门六合彩预测 is considered resident credit.

Notes
鈼 AP credit in the sciences may be used to satisfy the Science and Engineering breadth requirement of the University Curriculum. The UC’s Natural and Applied Science depth requirement must be satisfied through coursework at 澳门六合彩预测 or through transfer credit of a science course with lab from an accredited college or university.
鈼 Physics does not award placement credit for labs.
鈼 Duplicate credit is not allowed toward an 澳门六合彩预测 degree. Students who enroll in classes that duplicate Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate or other test credit awards will lose these credits after the fifth day of the term. Once credit is revoked, it may not be awarded again. Students must report any credit by exam no later than the end of their first term of enrollment.
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 / PREX 4002 |
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 C or 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 Physics 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.Mathematics
Math credit exams are offered for the courses listed below and must be taken prior to initial enrollment. Calculators are not permitted on these exams, except for MATH 1307. Students interested in credit exams for courses beyond this level may contact the Mathematics Department.
MATH 1307 Introduction to Mathematical Sciences (3 credits)MATH 1309 Introduction to Calculus for Business/Social Sciences (3 credits)(suggested preparation = one full year of high school calculus)MATH 1337 Calculus I (3 credits)(suggested preparation = one full year of high school calculus)MATH 1338 Calculus II (3 credits)
Computer Science
The Computer Science and Engineering Department offers a credit exam for CSE 1341 Principles of Computer Science I that must be taken prior to initial enrollment.
Credit for Military Veterans
Students who are military veterans and completed recruit training in the service may receive 2 hours of credit to satisfy the Personal Responsibility and Wellness component of the University Curriculum. The course credits awarded are:
| PRW 1199 | PRW I: Concepts of Wellness for Veterans(1 credit hour) For military veterans who through their military service have met the requirements for PRW I. |
