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 Advanced Placement examinations taken in high school according to the table below. Credit is 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 you matriculate to the University, regardless of when the test was taken.
You 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 is only awarded once. You may decline all or part of your test credit in favor of taking the equivalent credit at 澳门六合彩预测; declining credit is an irrevocable declaration. Credit granted by 澳门六合彩预测 is not considered resident credit and does not count towards the 60 resident hours required for an 澳门六合彩预测 degree.
Students may satisfy up to three (3) Common Curriculum Breadths with Advanced Placement credits or other test credits and/or post-high school transfer work.
Note: In response to school closings due to the impact of COVID-19, the College Board AP Exams were administered online in May 2020. 澳门六合彩预测 recognizes both the need for these changes and the effort that students already made in these challenging courses. The university remains committed to granting academic credit to students for the successful completion of 2020 AP Exams.

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. Credit awarded through 澳门六合彩预测 department exams, auditions and portfolio reviews is considered resident credit.
World Languages
If your native language is English, you are required to take a language placement examination. Scores on these examinations determine your world language competency so that you are placed in classes appropriate to your level of achievement and degree program. You may not enroll in a course below the level of your placement. When you successfully complete the course with a grade of C or above, you 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. You 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 you 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 you enroll 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 are not 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. If you are interested in credit exams for courses beyond this level, 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.
Music
All entering music undergraduate students (except transfer students from 4-year NASM schools) are required to take entrance examinations in written music theory and musicianship before classes begin. The date and time of these exams are listed in the “Orientation Schedule” published by the Division of Music each year and emailed to you. You are advised to make appropriate end-of-summer plans to be present and on time for these exams. You must be available for the entire testing period, and these exams cannot be made up once the semester begins. Since the exams are used for course section placement, you are required to take the exams whether or not you are seeking credit by examination.
All music degrees require coursework in Class Piano. If you are a prospective music major with no formal piano study, you should enroll directly in Class Piano during your first semester. Prospective music majors with any amount of formal piano study must be tested individually for placement into the appropriate Class Piano course. Scheduling information for these tests is provided in the “Orientation Schedule” published by the Division of Music each year and emailed to students.

澳门六合彩预测 grants credit for the successful completion of the international certificate programs listed below. Credit granted by 澳门六合彩预测 is not considered resident credit and does not count towards the 60 resident hours required for an 澳门六合彩预测 degree.
