CREDIT BY EXAMINATION

The Board of Trustees recognizes that students bring to the College a diversity of academic skills, abilities, and educational backgrounds. The Board hereby authorizes the development of a credit by examination program as a means to provide students with various educational opportunities in order to:

accelerate completion of educational goals,
provide college credit through special course examinations,
offer flexible and responsive educational opportunities that meet student needs, and
ensure student success without lowering academic standards.

The Academic Senate, in consultation with the Administration and subject to approval by the Board of Trustees, shall develop regulations and procedures to implement this policy.
