- CREDIT BY EXAMINATION (CBE) such as CLEP, AP, DANTES/DSST, etc. can be utilized to receive college credit. CBE tests must correspond to courses listed in the current SCCC College Catalog; any exceptions must be approved by the VP of Academic Affairs.
- A student may not earn CBE for any sequential course “below” the level of a course successfully completed.
- It is recommended that students first consult their academic advisor and the Registrar to discuss receiving credit through CBE. If a student fails a CBE test, it is recommended that a six (6) month period be observed before retesting for the same course.
- The Registrar will evaluate all CBE transcripts to determine the possible awarding of SCCC credit according to the following guidelines:
- Standards for awarding credit will be determined by the academic division and will include: specific courses which CBE credit can be awarded; the minimum scores for each CBE; the number of credit hours to be awarded, approved testing agencies, etc.
- If credit is awarded, the student’s transcript will indicate the name of the course, the testing agency/name of examination, number of credit hours earned, and a grade of “P” to designate a passing grade.
