Departmental Credits by Examinations

• As with CLEP subject exams, departmental examinations should be taken before the student is enrolled in the equivalent course or in any higher-level course for which it is a prerequisite. With departmental permission, a student can take the test for a course in which s/he is enrolled, but this must be done before the end of the first week of classes.
• Credit by exam cannot be used to repeat courses already taken at UW-Eau Claire and can be attempted only once per course.
• Application forms and general information should be obtained from the Dean of the School or College in which the course is taught.
• A student must pay $15 before taking this type of test. If s/he passes the test, there is no charge for the first credit earned, and the student must pay $7.50 for each additional credit earned. There is no fee beyond the initial $15 if the test is not passed.
• Contact the department to find out if a course is available for credit by exam.
