Examinations for advanced placement or college credit are available to students at Indiana University Kokomo. Interested students should contact the Office of Student Services. At present, the following options are available:
CEEB Achievement Tests Achievement tests are required for placement purposes in the foreign languages and chemistry and are recommended for determining eligibility for advanced credit or exemption at IU.
The foreign language achievement test is required for all persons admitted who wish to continue study in a language or who plan to receive a degree in arts and sciences or from the College of Arts and Sciences at Indiana University Bloomington.
The chemistry achievement test is required for all those admitted who have taken high school chemistry and plan to continue beyond two semesters of college chemistry. (Examples: predentistry, premedicine, preoptometry, chemistry, physics, and medical technology.)
Students having superior knowledge of mathematics, American history, chemistry, biology, a foreign language, or English composition are encouraged to take achievement tests for possible exemption or advanced credit.
Students not affected by the foreign language and chemistry requirement for placement purposes and who do not plan to participate in the advanced credit program at Indiana University are not required to take the College Entrance Examination Board achievement tests.
College Level Examination Program (CLEP) Students who have obtained college level education through media outside the formal classroom may receive advanced credit forCLEP Subject Examinations. Applications for CLEP examinations are available in the student services office.
Veteran's Credit Veterans of military service are eligible for academic credit as a result of their military training and experience. The university follows the provisions of the American Council on Education's Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services in granting credit. Copies of official discharge, separation papers, or transcripts must be submitted as a basis for granting credit. Evaluation of service credit is administered by the Office of Admissions.
Credit by Examination Students who believe they are proficient in a subject area may seek to earn credit by taking a written "end-of-course" or comprehensive examination in that subject. Arrangements to sit for the examination must be made with a division chairperson. A $5 administration fee must be paid at the Office of Administration and Finance prior to taking the examination. A grade of C or above will earn the appropriate number of Satisfactory (S) credit hours for the course. No credit will be given for a grade below C.
Credit by Examination, Credentials, and Special Credit Fee Structure The Trustees of Indiana University have approved the following fee structure for special credit:
1 . The credit hour fee for credit by examination is waived for freshmen during the first two regular semesters (fall and spring) following their matriculation at Indiana University. Undergraduate transfers from other institutions can receive credit by examination during their first semester in attendance at Indiana University by paying a recording fee of $10 per credit hour. All other fully admitted undergraduates and all fully admitted graduate students who apply for university credit by examination will be assessed at their appropriate regular credit hour fee rates. Nursing students are assessed at $10 per credit hour.
2. If the credit is awarded as the result of credentials or experience, such credit will be assessed the fee of the current resident or nonresident credit hour rate.
When credit is earned by examination, only the grades of S and A will be used in recording. The grade of S will ordinarily be used and the grade of A will be assigned only in instances of clearly superior performance.
(Faculty Council, April 21, 1964)
Courses may be taken on an official audit basis. No credit will be given for the courses; the audited courses will be indicated on the student’s transcript with a grade of NC. Students will be charged full price for any course taken as an audit. The student must obtain an Audit Form from their academic unit or the Office of the Registrar, secure the appropriate signatures, and return the form to the Office of the Registrar, by the fourth week of the semester.
