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 />
