Challenges- The College recognizes the fact that students
accumulate a great deal of information outside the class-
room without formal instruction or from previous academic
or occupational instruction. There are times when this back-
ground may be extensive enough to satisfy the requirements
of courses offered by the College either through various
examinations, course substitutions or waivers or credit for
nontraditional education. A student interested in these
options should inquire with the appropriate Department
Chair for courses which may be challenged in these ways.
Challenge Examinations- Students who wish to challenge
courses under the Credit by Examination provision must
pay a nonrefundable fee of $25.00 for each course chal-
lenged. Policies of the College relating to challenge exams
are as follows:
Only currently enrolled students are eligible to take
challenge exams.
No more than 15 credits required for a degree may be
obtained through challenges.
Courses cannot be challenged if a student has taken an
advanced course in the same area.
Challenge examinations are not considered resident
credit.
Challenge examination credit does not count as part of
a students credit loan for any given semester nor are
they computed into the grade point average.
A student may not retake a challenge.
Challenge examinations are not transferable and in
many cases will not count for licensing agencies.
Successful challenge examinations are posted as a P"
grade (Pass) on the students transcript.
Students must complete the challenge during the same
semester in which the request was made.
The College reserves the right to deny any petition for
credit by examination.
