Please be on time for the exam. The exam is not drop in. If you arrive late for the exam, you will be denied from taking the exam. Once the exams begin, you will not be allowed to take the exam. Credit By Exam can only be taken once for a course. If you wish to take multiple courses’ Credit By Exams, you will be allowed to take one exam per exam time.
You will need a score of 85 to pass a credit by exam. The Credit By Exam requires a pre-test in which an 85 on the pre-test makes you eligible to take the actual credit-by-exam (post-test). The pre-test and post-test are administered back-to-back in the same testing session. The exams are computer-based and will be graded automatically upon submission. You will know when you leave the exam session if you passed the Credit By Exam or not.
If you pass the credit by exam, you will receive a grade of “CE” (Credit by Exam) for the course. If you pass the exam, the instructor for the section you are taking will be notified that you are to receive the grade of “CE”. If you pass the exam, do not drop the course. You need to remain on the roster to receive credit for the course.

- University Transfer major - universities don't accept grade of "CE"
- Veteran receiving benefits - VA deducts the class CR hours you're not attending class, reducing/eliminating benefits
