A maximum of 18 credit hours may be earned through proficiency examination; 3. A proficiency examination may not be taken either to raise a grade or to earn credit in a course that has been failed; 4. Credit earned by a proficiency examination does not count toward satisfying the required minimum of 25% of all semester credit hours of coursework in the approved certificate, diploma, or degree program be completed at the University; 5. Credit earned by a proficiency examination does not count toward satisfying the last 20 hours of a baccalaureate degree; and 6.

Students who pass a proficiency examination are given credit toward graduation for the amount regularly allowed in the course, provided such credit does not duplicate credit counted for admission to the University and provided the credit is acceptable in their certificate, diploma, or degree program. The grade in proficiency examinations is P (pass) or F (failure), but students are not given a grade of P unless they have made at least a C- on the examination.
