Science Calculus Credit Exams

The credit exams are not open to students who have received a grade in the course (or an equivalent course), or are currently taking the course (after the first exam). Students with W in a course are permitted to take the credit exam.

Exams are administered by Testing Center during Day On Campus and for 3 days before the Fall and Spring semesters. See the Office of the Dean of Students Advanced Credit Exam page for more information about these testing dates.
