administered by an assessment counselor, as authorized by the College Entrance Examination Board, which sponsors the examinations.
Correspondence Study Although correspondence study seldom can replace the experiences gained through the actual classroom instruction and discussion, it is recognized that occasional utilization of correspondence study is acceptable. The total number of semester hours of correspondence study accepted toward completion of degree requirement shall not exceed 15. In order for correspondence study to be acceptable, prior permission must have been received for each course from the academic advisor and the registrar. Credits received for correspondence study are treated in the same manner as transfer credits; therefore, they cannot count toward the residence requirements.

Cross-registration with Member OICA Colleges Students enrolled full-time may take one course in a semester at no additional tuition at one of the undergraduate member institutions in the Oregon Independent Colleges Association (OICA). Only courses not available on the home campus may be selected unless there is a legitimate schedule conflict. Grades earned during cross-registration are part of the student’s GPA. Cross-registered students are permitted as space is available. Cross-registration is initiated by application through the office of the registrar and must have the approval of the academic advisor before beginning the cross-registration process.
Credit by Examination When a student, who is enrolled full-time, presents evidence that his or her background provides proficiency in an academic course offered by Corban College, and the course is not available through CLEP, the course may be challenged one time only by an appropriate examination. These challenge examinations are prepared by the college department directly responsible for the instruction of the course. The student must meet with the appropriate division chair and faculty member and provide convincing evidence of proficiency. If approval is granted, the student may make arrangements to take the test with the college registrar. A non-refundable fee is charged for each examination attempted. These written comprehensive tests cover all the basic information and skills required of students who complete the course successfully. For some courses a performance examination will be required. Students may not test out of a course they have audited and may not test out of more than 20 semester hours. The credit will appear on the transcript as CE (Credit by Exam) with the units earned; however, no grade will be recorded. 26
