Students who have prior experience with some introductory courses can request to receive credit for the course by completing an exam process. The CSC Undergraduate Advising Office<\/a> determines eligibility for the credit-by-exam and then refers the student to the appropriate faculty representative who administers the credit-by-exam process for the given course. Upon successful completion of the credit-by-exam process, students will receive credit, but no letter grade, for the course; credit-by-exam courses do not count in your GPA. Students who do not pass the credit-by-exam will be enrolled in the appropriate course by the CSC Undergraduate Advising Office<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Students may attempt credit by exam once for each class. There is absolutely no cost to you for taking a credit by examination and no transcript record is made if you don\u2019t pass the exam. Students may not attempt credit by exam for a class they have already failed or been enrolled in past Census Day. An attempt is defined as a letter grade, a withdrawal, S\/U (credit-only) grade, or transfer credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no limit to the number of classes that can be applied to your degree using Credit By Exam. Some classes, however, are not eligible for credit by exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Email Ms. Marini (tamarini@ncsu.edu<\/a>) with your name<\/strong>, Student ID number<\/strong>, the course<\/strong> that you want to receive credit for, and a rationale <\/strong>for why you have the requisite knowledge of the course\u2019s learning outcomes. If you want to receive credit for a course that has a prerequisite (e.g., CSC 216 has a pre-requisite of CSC 116), you must first show transfer credit for the pre-requisite course or take the credit-by-exam for the prerequisite course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Students who are not CSC majors also need the approval of their academic adviser as per the University policy<\/a>. The academic advisor should also email the alias listed above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To receive credit-by-exam for the next semester, you must start the credit-by-exam process by the date given below. Take into account any prerequisite chains when considering credit-by-exam. For courses not listed below, you’ll want to email Ms. Marini (<\/a>tamarini@ncsu.edu<\/a>) at least 6 weeks before the beginning of the next term to find out if a credit-by-exam is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Credit by Exam for E 115 is typically offered twice a year at the beginning of the term.<\/p>\n\n\n\nApproval<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
