For this particular course, Deb Godwin explained
that the student would pay their money to take the
exam. They will be issued a preparatory study guide
so that they can prepare for the test. Each
department will decide whether they want to proctor
the exam or have the Learning Center do so.
Students can only take the test once. The Credit by
exam packet should include the Syllabus, SLOs,
study guides, Business computer applications
forms, business computer applications projects
instructions questions.
Deb Godwin explained that this credit by exam
process allows students to take the credit by exam
in order to graduate and also to get into the nursing
program if so desired. The exams are proctored by
the learning center.
