If an examination is the method selected, a course syllabus and several sample questions will be made available to the student by the instructor providing the grade. A per-credit hour fee is charged for on-campus credit by examination or portfolio. An additional fee may be charged for a laboratory examination. Grading is made on a pass/fail basis. When an Otterbein exam is not successfully passed, a second attempt can only be made by taking the actual class. Failed attempts are not recorded on the transcript record.

Advanced Placement Program
-
A student who receives a score of 4 or 5 on an Advanced Placement Test in high school will receive credit for the appropriate Otterbein equivalent course (see list of equivalencies at www.otterbein.edu). Proficiency rather than credit will be noted for a score of 3 for any Otterbein equivalent course except Integrative Studies course (INST) and Mathematics (MATH) courses or their substitutes (seep. 31). Exemption from INST courses and INST substitutes requires a score of 4 or 5. Proficiency means that the Otterbein equivalent course may be skipped when it is a required, prerequisite, or co-requisite course. Score= 4 or 5: Credit granted for Otterbein equivalant course. Score= 3: Proficiency granted for Otterbein equivalent course except for INST and MATH courses and their substitutes.
International Baccalaureate Program Otterbein awards credit on a case-by-case basis for higher level examinations that match courses in the College's curriculum. A score of 5, 6 or7 is required. An official International Baccalaureate transcript should be submitted to the Admission Office no later than spring of the senior year in high school.
Grading Each student will receive a grade report at the end of each quarter, and a permanent transcript of all course work attempted and grades earned is maintained in the Office of the Registrar. 305
