In that case, the student has paid regular tuition and fees for the course, which may be refunded only if the student withdraws by the published refund deadlines; the student must also withdraw in order to avoid earning a grade.

Please consult with the Enrollment Services office about the process. Dual registration in the course and completion of a challenge for the same course results in cancellation of the credit and grade for the challenge, and the transcript will reflect only the registered course and the grade for that course. Activity courses or courses taken previously at regionally accredited institutions may not be challenged. Courses previously taken for audit at EvCC may not be challenged. An individual course may be challenged only once. Traditional letter grades (A through F) will be issued on completion of the examination. Plus or minus grades may be utilized at instructor discretion in accordance with college procedures. Students not taking the examination will be issued an F or a V at the instructor’s discretion.
