Satisfactory performance on the latter three shall be based upon the score established by the appropriate University official. The Credit for Life Experience Program is available for adult students. Credit (Not a letter grade) shall be entered on the student’s record by the Office of the Registrar. Contact this office by calling 502-5976234 or stop by the Academic Services Building, Room 323.

Academic Unit Challenge Exams

A student intending to challenge a course must complete registration for the course, including payment of applicable fees, during the registration period and must receive the approval of his/her advisor and the chairperson through which the course is offered. The chairperson may deny the request if it is determined that the student has not furnished evidence that he/she is reasonably prepared to take the challenge examination.

The challenge examination must be taken before the beginning of the third week of classes during the fall and spring semesters and before the end of the first week of classes during a summer session. A student who wants to challenge a course must attend the respective class before taking the challenge examination.
