University Undergraduate Regulations

Challenge-For-Credit

The Challenge-for-Credit procedure is for a student who has obtained knowledge of the subject matter of a course in a manner that does not permit advanced standing credit either by transfer or validating examination. Such a student, instead of attending classes and taking the normally scheduled examination, may obtain credit by passing a special examination to be given in the first two weeks of the course. Credit can be granted only for those courses specifically designated as "Challenge-for-Credit" in the course description. Regulations that apply to Challenge-for-Credit are available from the applicable department or the Office of the Registrar. The course registration fee applies.
