STUDENT INFORMATION<br />

Non-degree students who later wish to pursue degrees must apply for degreeseeking<br />

admission and are subject to admissions and degree requirements in<br />

effect for the semester in which they apply.<br />

Advanced Credit and Advanced Placement<br />

Advanced credit means that the university grants credit based on other outside<br />

academic work and records it on the student’s record.<br />

Advanced placement means that a student is placed in an advanced level course<br />

but may not have earned credit toward a degree for any prior courses. The Office of<br />

Admissions evaluates requests for advanced credit and advanced placement.<br />

There are six ways for a student toestablish advanced credit or advanced placement:<br />

1. Departmental/School Credit by Exam. An individual school/department may<br />

establish an examination procedure to establish advanced credit. Students<br />

should consult with the school/department head or academic advisor for details.<br />

2. Departmental/School Credit without Exam may be awarded on the basis<br />

of substantially equivalent experience or successful completion of a more<br />

advanced course. Students should consult with the school/department head<br />

or academic advisor for details.<br />

3. Departmental/School Credit in Mathematics, Computer Science, and<br />

Statistics. Students may submit an application to the school/department for<br />

credit in basic mathematics courses numbered 135 or above only if:<br />

the basic course satisfies the mathematics requirement for the student’s<br />

curriculum;<br />

the student is currently taking or has completed a subsequent course in<br />

the normal sequence of math courses in the school/department; and<br />

the student has never received a grade other than Win the basic course.<br />

4. College-Level Examination Program (CLEP). CLEP exams evaluate nontraditional<br />

college-level education, such as independent study, correspondence<br />

work, or credit earned at a non-regionally accredited institution. <strong>Purdue</strong> <strong>Calumet</strong><br />

may accept CLEP credit if the student completes the subject matter examinations<br />

and sends the official score report with the qualifying exam and score to the Office<br />

of Admissions. (General examinations credit is not accepted.)<br />
