CREDIT BY EXAMINATION

Lon Morris College grants advanced credit in the following ways:

1. By departmental exam:

At present departmental exams are offered for

COSC 1301; Dram 1351, 2336; ENGL 1301; MATH 1314, 1316, 2412; MUSI 1311; SPAN 1411, 1412

a.          Departmental exams are available only to currently enrolled Lon Morris students.

b.         Students may not take departmental exams for classes in which they are currently enrolled, have previously failed, or which are prerequisite to courses for which they have already earned credit.

c.          The department giving the exam will assign a grade of A, B, C, D, or F.  Unsuccessful attempts are not recorded on the transcript.  Students must pay a fee of $75 to have the course entered on their transcript.  The course will be considered for all purposes the same as a class taken during the semester in which the test is given.

2. By national exams administered by the Advanced Placement Program of the College Entrance Examination Board (AP), the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), or International Baccalaureate Higher Level Examinations (IB).  Full information on credit from national exams is available from the Academic Dean.  For more information on the AP Program of the College Examination Board, write to CEEB, P.O. Box 592, Princeton, NJ 88540.  The following rules apply to credit by national examination:

a.       Credit is available to both incoming students and students currently enrolled.

b.      Scores earned on national examinations should be sent to Lon Morris College.  The student must notify the Registrars Offices of the decision to accept or decline the credit.  The symbol “CR” (credit), rather than a grade will be posted to a transcript.  Generally, the grade equivalent of “A” or “B” must be earned on an examination in order for “CR” to be awarded.  Unsuccessful attempts are not recorded on the transcript.

c.       Credit by national examination will not be awarded for courses in which a student is currently enrolled, has previously failed, or which are prerequisite to courses for which credit has already been earned.

d.      Credit by national examination is not applicable toward determination of scholastic standing or academic honors.  Likewise, those credit hours will not satisfy the requirements for minimum hours in residence which must be earned at Lon Morris College for a degree.

e.       A Maximum of thirty hours of credit by examination may be accepted at Lon Morris College.  Certain limitations will apply to the courses accepted.

f.        Transfer of courses earned through credit by examination is determined by the receiving institution.  Students are urged to verify transferability with the university to which they intend to transfer.
