Credit for Departmental Exams
In some cases, students may have specialized experience that cannot be tested by any standardized national exam nor equated via transcript. Such experience might include prior learning not tested by AP, CLEP, or DSST, workplace training not transcribed by ACE or NCCRS, or prior coursework that is not approved for transfer. In those cases, a student may ask to receive credit for a specific Cameron course based upon performance on a departmental exam.
Students who wish to earn course credit via a departmental exam should follow the steps below:
- The student contacts the Testing Center at (580) 581-2502 or testingcenter@cameron.edu and requests an advanced standing examination.
- The Testing Center forwards the request to the Academic Department for their approval
- If testing is approved, the department makes the password protected test available to the Testing Center. In cases where special equipment is needed (for example, performing arts or laboratory exams), arrangements will be made with the department to administer the exam in a secure manner.
- One the test is available, the student will be notified by the Testing Center and will schedule and pay for the test through RegisterBlast.
- When the student has completed the test, the department will score it.
- The department will notify the Registrar's Office of the results of the test via email with a copy to the Testing Center.
