Earning Credit Through Exam
Earning Credit Through Exam
To earn credit by examination, the student must be currently enrolled at Ozarks Technical Community College. Students must complete the process for seeking credit by exam, with the Division Chair of that discipline, prior to the start of the semester when the credit would be awarded.
Not more than 24 credit hours may be earned through credit by exam. Students must pay $15 per course for examination. Exams are administered under the direction of the appropriate college dean/division chair. Students passing the exam may gain transcripted credit by paying the appropriate tuition and fees. Credit by exam will not count toward receiving state or federal financial aid.
The grade recorded on the transcript will be 'S' which will count as hours earned but will not count in cumulative grade points for grade point average (GPA). Students failing the examination may enroll in the course or may retake the examination after a one-year wait.
