Accelerated Education Opportunities

Regularly enrolled (excludes transient and non-degree) undergraduate students at the University of Central Florida may obtain credit for specific University courses through departmental examinations. A student who believes he or she has acquired the knowledge and/or skills of a specific University course should consult his or her advisor and the chair of the department in which the course is offered to arrange for an examination. Degree credit will be awarded for those courses successfully completed by departmental examination. Credit by examination may not be used to reduce the 30 credit hours residency requirement. Credit by examination will not be given for any course lower in content than courses in the same discipline in which students are currently enrolled or which they have already completed or failed. Permission to take an examination is approved by the chair of the department and the dean of the college in which the course is offered.
