TTC offers students enrolled in credit courses the option to exempt a course through Credit by Examination. However, because of articulation agreements or the nature of the course, some courses cannot be challenged. Each department, working within the framework of the overall College policy, has established procedures for Credit by Examination. If you are interested, contact the appropriate department head or dean for those procedures.

A nonrefundable fee is charged for administering each written examination. You may not take a Credit by Examination test for a course in which you have earned a previous grade, including withdrawal. A student enrolled in a course may not take a Credit by Examination test for that course after the Drop/Add period. The only exception is the student who audits a course. A Credit by Examination test may be taken only once. To receive credit, you must earn a minimum grade of C. Credit hours awarded through Credit by Exam must not exceed 25 percent of your total curriculum hours. Credits earned through Credit by Examination are not added to your grade point average.
