Upon the approval of the school dean and the graduate dean, students may obtain credit for curricular requirements by successfully completing a validation examination-written, oral, manipulative, or otherwise, as determined by the school involved.
Credit obtained by validation examination is considered earned credit and maybe permitted only as part of an established course of study. Credit for experiential learning, credit by challenge examination, and other categories of non-traditional credit does not apply to a graduate degree.
Students may earn a maximum of six hours of credit by validation examinations. All examinations are given on a pass/fail basis. Scores will not be placed on a student's permanent record and are, therefore, not transferable. An examination and recording fees will be charged.
