In order for credit by exam or AP credits to count toward a degree or as a course prerequisite, students must first claim the credit at the Center for Teaching and Learning - Student Testing Services. Your academic advisor can help you determine which credits you should claim.
Steps to Claim Credit
- Start on the university's Center for Teaching and Learning Test Results and Course Petitioning page.
- Read the Placement Versus Credit information.
- Click on the petition button, and log in.
- Complete and submit the petition.
Important
- There is a fee of $6 per credit hour for claiming credit. For example, three credit hours would cost $18. Payment options are available.
- Claimed credit-by-exam will not affect your GPA.
- If you take a course in residence for which you have already earned credit-by-exam, whether you have petitioned or not, you will NOT be able to claim the credit.
More information is available at the Center for Teaching and Learning.
