Dean Review of Credit by Exam Form

A student can earn credits for a course by passing an exam proving their level of proficiency.  After the student and faculty add the necessary information, the chair and the dean must review the form which details the student’s intent to earn credits through the exam and the faculty’s plan for what course to be earned.  The chairperson will choose whether to support or not support the plan.  Once the form is saved with the chair’s decision, it will move to the Dean’s queue for review.
