grade is assigned it the student fails the examination. Challenge examination grades will be reported on the official grade roster at the conclusion of the semester/session.
If the student fails the challenge examination, then he/she may either attend the class as scheduled or withdraw from the course. If the student chooses to withdraw from the course, then the University's existing withdrawal policies apply. A student may not take a challenge examination for classes previously failed.
A student may challenge a course only one time, and no challenge examination will be administered for courses for which CLEP examinations are available.

The Advanced Placement (AP) Program is offered in participating high schools across the country. High school students should consult with their guidance counselor or principal regarding the availability of AP courses in their school, how to register for them, and AP testing schedules and fees. Kentucky State University offers proctoring services for the Advanced Placement Exams. For exam fees and dates visit: http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/exam/calendar/index or the Testing and Disability Services Office for local information in 202 Carl Hill Student Center, testing@kysu.edu, 502-597-5076.
The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a series of standardized examinations recognized by many colleges and universities. Successful completion of these examinations enables students to receive credit for courses for which they have gained commensurate knowledge through reading and other experiences. Currently, Kentucky State University awards semester credit hours for 21 University courses through CLEP examinations.
The CLEP examinations are given at the University by appointment. Students should take the appropriate CLEP examination the semester before the one in which they would otherwise take the corresponding Kentucky State University course. If unsuccessful on the CLEP examination, students can register for the course during the next semester. Registration for CLEP examinations should be completed at www.clep.collegeboard.org. More information is available at the University's Office of Testing.
The University courses for which CLEP credit is given, as well as the appropriate CLEP examination for each minimum score required to receive University credit, are the following:
