Credit by Examination
 

A regularly enrolled student may earn credit for some courses offered by the college, at the discretion of his/her academic advisor and the division chair, by successfully completing a comprehensive proficiency examination. While rare, this method of receiving college credit can reward students who have experienced significant learning experiences through occupational or non-traditional means. Application for such examination must be made to the division chairperson for the course being challenged. Credit by examination cannot be earned for any course which has been previously attempted by the student. Credit earned by examination will be entered on the student’s record, will be counted as credit for graduation, and is transferable to other institutions in the University System of Georgia. Credits earned by examination are not included in computing grade point averages because a letter grade is not assigned.
