Important Information about
CREDIT BY
EXAMINATION
A student may earn a maximum of 32 semester
hours by examination through:
1. locally prepared Advanced Standing
Examinations,
2. College Level Examination Program’s Subject
Examinations (CLEP),
3. CEEB Advanced Placement Examinations
(AP), or
4. International Baccalaureate higher level
examinations (IB).
Credit will be granted at the score level recommended
by the American Council on Education or above, as
recommended by the academic department granting
the credit and approved by the administering dean. Test
administration will be open to current students as well as
incoming freshmen and transfer students.
When recorded on the transcript, the credit is shown
as by examination and a grade of S only is recorded. If
the student’s score is not sufficient for credit, no entry
will be made on the transcript. Credit by institutional
challenge exams is accepted in transfer from any institution
recognized by an accrediting agency approved by the State
of Oklahoma or CHEA on the same basis as that school’s
residence credit. However, when that credit was granted
on the basis of an external examination such as CLEP, AP
or IB, the student will be required to submit score reports,
and proof of essays or oral examinations taken with the
CLEP tests. Credit will be granted on the basis of OBU’s
published minimum requirements. For transfer students,
OBU will accept credit from accredited institutions that was
granted on the basis of AP or IB Scores; provided however,
that such credits shall not include those earned soley
through concurrent enrollment. Credit granted by other
institutions on the basis of CLEP general examinations,
CEEB Achievement Examinations, and/or SAT/ACT scores,
will be not accepted. The total credit by examination,
including that accepted in transfer, shall not exceed 32
semester hours.
Students must register for credit by the OBU Advanced
Standing Examination in the Academic Center, Thurmond
Hall 201, prior to the exam and must sit for the exam at
the appointed time.
Students must register for the CLEP examination in the
University Testing Office in Geiger Center 101 at least three
weeks prior to the exam and must sit for the exam at the
appointed time.
If circumstances prevent the student from taking the
CLEP examination during the semester for which he has
registered, he must cancel the registration in the University
Testing Office or forfeit the examination fee. Upon
cancellation, the student will be refunded the fee less any
penalties the University has been assessed by the testing
service and a $5.00 clerical processing fee.
