Credit by Examination offers students in a college program the opportunity to earn credit for a course by passing an exam. Students enrolled in a college program who believe they are qualified through previous course work, work experience, or specialized training may earn credit by examination in order to begin more advanced work in their program. Students desiring such an examination must apply to enroll at Belmont Technical College .
The student must discuss testing with the appropriate program Chair to determine whether sufficient reason exists to warrant pursuing the appropriate examination. If the Program Chair determines that attempting the examination is appropriate, he/she will then direct the student to the appropriate full-time faculty member to arrange for the examination. The student may then petition for credit by exam by competing Form 52 which is available at the Student Records Office . Prior to taking the exam, the proper fee must be remitted in the Business Office.
Credit by examination does not apply to students currently enrolled in the course. It may not be used as a makeup examination. It may not be used once the student has received a grade for the course. The exam may not be taken more than once for each course.
Letter grades are given for successful passing of a credit-by-examination instrument, and the student earns both credits and quality points. Credit will only be awarded for a letter grade of “C” or better.
