Credit by Challenge Examination
Registered students may obtain credit for course-specific examinations
by procuring a petition from the dean's office in the college of the
student's major and by obtaining the appropriate signatures. Credit and
grades obtained by examination are not used in determining the load or
grade point average for the semester in which the examination is taken;
they are used in calculating the accumulative grade point average. When
an examination for credit is taken, whatever grade is made is recorded.
A student may complete a total of 48 credits by examination toward a
degree. The cost of credit by examination is $15 per credit hour payable
to the ISU Cashier's Office prior to the examination.
