"Students who believe they possess sufficient knowledge and who have not previously failed that particular course may apply to take the course equivalency examination for a maximum of 15 credit hours. Course equivalency examinations must be completed prior to the time the student reaches the last 30 credits for a bachelor’s degree. A nonrefundable fee ($500) is charged for administering each equivalency exam. Because students may take a course equivalency exam only once for each course, those failing a course equivalency examination must enroll in and complete the course to receive credit."
