Testing Out

This policy has been enacted to allow students who wish to waive a course to do so by showing competency in that course. This competency can be shown through a variety of means, but will generally be earned by taking the final exam for the course and earning at least a C+. The intent of this policy is to allow students the opportunity to test out of a course for which they feel they already possess the knowledge or skills to pass. Students who earn a C+ or better on the final exam of a course will be considered to have met course completion requirement and will receive credit to be applied toward the 22 credits required to graduate. Exams will be administered during specified dates below in the counseling office.  Credit earned through our waiver policy will not be factored into cumulative GPA. 

Two test out opportunities are available each year (before 1st and before 2nd semester).  Specific test out dates are posted below.  In order to test out of a course, be sure to meet the sign-up deadline. 

Each test out date allows time for one semester exam.  If you are attempting to test out of two semesters (either different courses or a full year of the same course), you should sign up for both dates.
