Credit Through Experience
Students can be exempted from selected courses or receive "work experience" credit based on documented work experience and approval of the Department Chair and the Registrar. Work experience can be used toward meeting graduation requirements.
Credit by Examination
Credit for College Level Examination Program (CLEP), General Exams and selected Subject Exams will be granted in applicable subject areas. No more than 30 credits may be granted. A minimum acceptable score of 50 is recognized as recommended by the American Council on Education (ACE) on all exams.
Students with documented skills and the permission of the Department Chair may qualify to sit for challenge exams in selected courses in their programs. Students must register and pay a challenge exam fee for the course. Challenge exam credits do not count towards full-time status for financial aid and the Veteran's Administration. A letter grade is assigned and calculated into the grade point average (Credits for Advanced Placement (AP) courses/exams are granted for scores of "3" or higher for appropriate courses.)
