Registration Information and Regulations Governing Credit by Examination
The procedure of securing Credit by Examination (CBE) is designed to encourage regularly enrolled students to seek college credit in major and elective courses in which they have competence but for which they have not earned units by the usual academic processes. It is hoped that CBE will permit a student to accelerate his/her academic progress or will provide the opportunity for a broad selection of coursework.
The following regulations apply:
- Departments or programs may develop and provide challenge exams for major and elective courses to matriculated students. Courses meeting University Requirements (UR) and General Education (GE) requirements are not available for challenge exams.
- Credit shall not be awarded for passage of an external examination when credit has already been awarded at a level more advanced than the content of the examination.
- Students may not challenge a course that is a prerequisite to a course for which academic credit has already been earned. Further, a student may not elect to challenge a course for which any grade (including "F", "WU", "IC", "NC", or "AU") was received in a previous semester, for which academic renewal has been granted, or for which a prior challenge exam or prior learning assessment has been unsuccessful.
- Credit earned by examination may not be applied toward fulfillment of a residence requirement for any degree.
- Credit shall not be awarded twice for the same demonstrated course equivalency, unless otherwise specified in the Catalog; the rule is against duplication and credit.
- The maximum units to be earned by CBE in any semester or term is the number of units completed in regular enrollment during that semester or term. A maximum of 30 semester units is allowed for Credit for Prior Learning, including Credit by Examination (CLEP, DANTES, etc.), military credit, and Prior Learning Assessment towards the bachelor's degree total units.
- Students must be matriculated. CBE credit may not be secured while enrolled through open university or Extension.
- Graduate Students: Credit by examination for coursework may be used to fulfill prerequisites and/or toward the determination of admission eligibility and may not be applied toward the total units required for a master’s degree.
