Students taking proficiency examinations will be required topresent evidence that they have developed those abilities and aptitudes expected ofstudents who have taken the course involved. When possible this evidence should be inthe form of recognized and standardized tests. Upon passing the examination with aminimal grade of B, the student may be given credit. The maximum number of hours thatcan be earned by proficiency examination and/or correspondence is 32 semester hours.Credit earned through proficiency will be recorded with a grade of P and will not affect thestudent’s grade point average.The provision that permits proficiency credit is an attempt to give credit for skillsalready achieved so that the student avoids needless repetition.
