Procedure for Challenge Exams Given at the Testing Center (information here)

1. Go to the Testing Center (265 HGB).
   1. For testing dates on GE exams, see table below.
   2. Pay the required fee at the Testing Center.
2. After the exam is graded and the choice is made to receive graded credit, obtain a Challenge Examination Form at the Testing Center and have it validated there.
   1. To accept the grade and receive credit for the course, sign the Challenge Examination Form and have the Testing Center submit it to the Records Office (B-150 ASB). After taking the exam there is a limited time to request that the grade be submitted to receive course credit. The time limit to choose the course credit is determined by the department, not to exceed one year. Graded credit will be added to the student's official university transcript, and the progress report will show any GE requirement as fulfilled.
   2. Students taking the Physical Science examination may take the grade or an exemption if their score is 75 percent or above. If their score is between 60 and 74 percent, they may receive graded credit.
3. Students enrolled in the course when they pass its challenge exam must also drop the course. Students who drop the class after the add deadline (ten class days after a semester starts or six days after a term starts) will receive a W on their transcript for dropping the course. If the course is not officially dropped before the withdrawal deadline, the grade given by the instructor based on class performance will appear on the transcript.
