Credit by Examination

Credit for selected Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State University courses is granted under the Credit-by-Examination Program (CBE).

Students with demonstrable ability and knowledge in a particular subject area may earn credit in certain courses by taking special examinations, completing special assignments or both. Academic departments designate courses as "available for CBE without departmental permission," "available for CBE with departmental permission, and "not available for CBE". Most 10000-level courses and selected introductory 20000-level courses are available for CBE. Other courses are normally not available for CBE. Students who wish to be examined in a course must petition the appropriate department and their college for permission. Such permission will be granted only if the students present documented evidence of substantial prior preparation in the subject area.

The minimum passing standard for CBE is the equivalent of a grade of C. However, no letter grades, only credit hours, are given for CBE. A non-refundable examination fee of $50 per credit hour must be paid at the Campus Bursar's / Cashier's Office.
