Credit by Examination Credit for certain courses may be established through a proficiency exam. Students pursuing credit by exam should not register for the course in which they hope to establish credit. In addition, students should not have taken the course, or its equivalent, previously either at CCBC or another school. Full- time students receiving financial aid should note that opting for credit by exam may influence and reduce their financial aid awards. The credits will appear on the transcript designated “Credit by Examination.” Students who have received credit by examination for a course are permitted to subsequently register for the course. However, the last grade issued will be the only grade included in their cumulative quality point average. For these purposes, the “last grade” refers to A, B, C, D, or F only.
