How are challenge exams applied to student records?

At the discretion of individual departments, students may arrange challenge examinations to demonstrate proficiency in the content areas of specific courses for academic credit.

Faculty may arrange written, oral or performance exercises to establish competency and the appropriate number of credit hours will be awarded for satisfactory performance with a grade of P. Interested students should contact the department chair responsible for the content area that they wish to challenge. If the department agrees to supervise the challenge exam, the student is referred to the office of the school dean to complete the appropriate form and pay a fee, if appropriate.
