Credit by Examination
UHD accepts up to 24 hours of credit by examination. Credit by examination may be obtained on the basis of several types of examinations. Nationally recognized standardized examinations such as the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and the College Board’s Advanced Placement program may be used. Examinations widely used within a professional field and locally designed examinations also may be used. Students may not attempt to receive credit by exam for any course in which they are or have been enrolled at an accredited institution; however, students may attempt credit by examination for courses in which they are or have been enrolled at a non-accredited institution. Students planning to take CLEP exams should do so before their final semester.
Nationally standardized examinations are administered through Testing Services; all other examinations are administered through the responsible department.
If credit is not awarded, a period of six months must elapse before application for re-examination will be considered. Appropriate fees are charged for each examination. No student may attempt the exam for a particular course more than twice.
Credit may be granted for professional certification and training received from armed forces and service schools. With consent of the appropriate dean, the chair of the department in which the student is majoring will make the decision concerning the applicability of such courses to the degree program.
Credit received by examination does not fulfill residency requirements for graduation.
No grade is awarded for courses for which credit has been obtained by exam, nor are hours received for such courses included in the calculation of grade point average for graduation. Listed below are the subject examinations for the Advanced Placement Program and the College Level Examination.
