This brochure is intended to provide specific information on the various ways students can receive college credit by exam at Oklahoma State University. OSU welcomes students from a wide variety of backgrounds and learning experiences. Many students come to us with extensive experience in many of the disciplines we teach. Students generally acquire this knowledge through accelerated course work during high school, military training or in the world of work.

We recognize and honor prior learning by accepting a number of examinations, which measure a student’s mastery of college-level course content in a wide range of subjects. Students achieving the credit-granting minimum scores indicated will earn the equivalent course(s) listed. OSU charges no tuition or fees for credit earned through examination. The only expense to the student is the actual cost of the exam.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONSThe academic regulations pertaining to credit by exam listed below apply to all options listed in this brochure.

A Credit earned by examination will be recorded on a student's OSU transcript with a neutral grade of "CBE-P" (Pass) if the student earns the equivalent of a "C" or better on the examination. No grade is recorded if the student fails the exam.

B Credit earned by examination does not count toward the minimum of 30 hours that must be earned in residence.

C A native speaker of a foreign language (one whose high school level instruction was conducted principally in that language) cannot earn credit toward graduation in lower- division (1000-2000 level) courses in that language.

students who take the subject in a regular class, may apply for

an examination on the subject. Information and application forms

pertaining to departmental examinations may be obtained from

the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, 219 Student Union.

In addition to the academic regulations listed at the beginning

of this brochure, to qualify for an advanced standing examination

a student must:

within the preceding six months.

C Receive the approval of the head of the department and the

associate dean of the college in which the course is offered.
