Any student may request to receive credit for a course by taking a course competency exam. The fee for taking a course competency exam is $25 per credit hour. Students who pass the course competency exam will be charged the full amount of tuition for that course (charged at $395 per credit hour) less the $25 per credit hour fee for attempting the course competency exam. Except as noted below under CCR’s tuition and fee summary for course competency exams.
If the student is attempting a course competency exam for an academic course, they must schedule that exam with an administrator at the college. The administrator will determine if the student meets the minimum requirements to pass the course competency exam and receives full credit for the course. Students must complete all academic course competency exams no less than 21 days prior to the beginning of a semester or at an administrator’s discretion.
Similarly, if a student is attempting a speed assessment exam for a skill-development course, (SH 100 -SH 240 , SB 201 - SB 203 , SB 202-V - SB 203-V ) they must schedule the speed assessment exam with an administrator at the college. The administrator will determine if the student meets the minimum requirements for passing the speed assessment exam and receives full credit for the course. Students must complete all skill-development course competency exams no less than 21 days prior to the beginning of a semester or at an administrator’s discretion.
Students who complete the requirements for a course competency exam will receive a “T” on their transcript instead of a letter grade. A “T” grade has no grade weight to it; therefore, it will not be calculated in the student’s cumulative GPA, but the student will earn the credit hours associated with the course.
CCR’s tuition and fee summary for course competency exams is listed below. If a student:
- Passed a course competency exam and is enrolled in 12 credit hours or more in the same semester the student passed the course competency exam, no $25 per credit hour assessment fee is charged and there is no tuition charge.
- Passed a course competency exam and is taking LESS than 12 credit hours in the same semester the student passed the course competency exam, the $25 per credit hour assessment fee applies plus tuition is charged (tuition is reduced by the amount of the assessment fee).
- Did NOT pass the course competency exam and is enrolled in 12 credit hours or more in the same semester the student did NOT pass the course competency exam, no $25 per credit hour assessment fee is charged and there is no tuition charge.
- Did NOT pass the course competency exam and is taking LESS than 12 credit hours, the $25 per credit hour assessment fee applies but there is no tuition charge.
