Through several methods, above-average students
may earn academic credit for college-level
learning by taking an examination in the appropriate
area. The following points are the student’s
responsibility and should be noted.
Credit granted can be used to satisfy specific,
general or elective degree requirements,
as determined by the academic dean.
Credit by examination is not assigned
a letter grade and is not counted toward
special recognition or honors.
It is the responsibility of the student
to discuss pending AP, CLEP, IB or SAT II
(foreign language only) results with his
or her academic advisor prior to registration.
Duplicate credit is not allowed for credit
by examination and classwork
Credit by examination will not be granted
in a lower-level course once credit has been
awarded by classwork or exam in a more advanced
course.
Credit by examination must be documented
by an official score report from the examining
agency. It will not be taken from another
college or university transcript.
Currently enrolled TCU students should
obtain prior approval from their academic
dean before taking CLEP examinations.
Credit by examination may be awarded only
in the first 66 semester hours of college
credit.
Credit may not be earned by examination
in any course previously failed, audited
or taken for noncredit at TCU.
Credit for departmental examinations awarded
by other institutions will not transfer to
TCU.
