A regularly enrolled student
may earn credit for any course 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.
