Credit by Examination

Semester credit hours are awarded for the successful completion of examinations from approved national testing programs, including Advanced Placement (AP), Berlitz, College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), Excelsior College, DANTES (DSST), and International Baccalaureate (IB). Semester credit awards are based on recommendations of the American Council of Education (ACE), wherever applicable. Students who seek to transfer credit by examination must request that official score reports be sent directly to the registrar at their Ottawa University campus.  A maximum of 32 credits may be earned by credit by examination.
