CREDIT BY EXAMINATION A student who feels he can demonstrate ability and knowledge in a particular subject may petition the appropriate academic dean for the privilege of taking a special examination and/or performing a special assignment for credit in that subject. An examination fee of $5 is assessed for each course involved. A student is not permitted to earn more than 18 units of credit by examination. Credit by examination requires College-wide approval as well as that of the appropriate academic department. A standard symbol indicating "credit by examination" will be posted on the student's permanent record, but letter grades or quality points will not be used.
RECORDS - GRADES AND QUALITY POINTS Final grades are issued at the end of each quarter. Letter grades earn a number of quality points per credit unit according to the following schedule: A - Excellent ............................ 4 8 -Good .............................. 3 C - Average ............................ 2 D - 8elow Average ....................... 1 F - Failure ............................. 0 *W - Withdrawal ......................... 0 I - Incomplete ........................... 0 '~S-Audit .............................. 0 The student's grade-point average is computed by the following formula: Total Quality Points Earned Grade-Point Average *Total Units of Credit Attempted For example, if you took five courses worth three credits each, you would be attempting 15 total units of credit. If you earned four "8's" and one "A" as final grades, you would have a total of 48 quality points. Your grade-point average would be 3.20 - 48 divided by 15. * NOTE: Courses in which a student earns grades of "Wit or "S" are not considered part of the total credit units attempted.
