Test-Out Procedures
Students may request, after classes begin, to test-out of classes they are currently enrolled in if they feel they have sufficient mastery of the subject matter to successfully pass a comprehensive examination of the course competencies. The instructor will set the time for the examination. The grade will be recorded by the instructor and turned in at the end of that semester. The student must make a grade of "C" or higher to receive credit for the course. Students who do not receive a "C" or higher grade will complete the remainder of the required course work.
