Inter-Continental Christian University treats national standardized
tests such as the
College Level Placement Exams (CLEP) as transfer credit.
Credit is allowed
only for courses that may be applied to the General
Education or General
Elective areas. Credit is granted for subjects in which a
student scores at the 50th
percentile or higher.
If a student believes that he has already mastered the
content of an Inter-Continental
Christian University course, he/she may request to take the proctored
final
examination as a “Challenge Exam.” This
credit-by-examination is a means of
earning college credit. A satisfactory grade on the properly
administered final
examination shall by itself be considered sufficient
demonstration of mastery
and justifiable reason for granting appropriate college
credit. A grade of “C” or
better is required to receive credit-by-examination.
A student may earn up to 32 credits toward a BA or 16
credits toward an AA
through this recognized collegiate practice for validating equivalent college-level
learning. Credit obtained in this way may not substitute for
the fina1 32
hours of credit required to be taken by enrollment in
Inter-Continental
University degree programs. The charge for earning credit by
a challenge
examination is the regular tuition charge. The same policies
regarding the
proctor selection, etc. applies to this exam as for all
other degree finals.
