Students applying to take a Challenge Examination must pay a testing fee of $25.00 per credit according to the number of credits normally awarded for the challenged course. This testing fee must be paid prior to taking the Challenge Exam. Upon passing the Challenge Examination, students apply to have examination credits awarded by the University. Students will be charged one-third the standard tuition rate as of the date the examination was taken for each Challenge Examination credit awarded. Payment must be made in full upon submission of the application for awarded credits. Payment cannot be included with any semester tuition rate and must be paid separately.
