All regulations governing proficiency examinations will be applied in the context that the University must reasonably accommodate a student's religious beliefs, observances, and practices in regard to scheduling of proficiency examinations if the student informs the person responsible for the scheduling of such examinations of the conflict within one week after being informed of the examination schedule. Any student may appeal an adverse decision.
An enrolled undergraduate student who passes a proficiency examination is given credit toward graduation for the amount regularly allowed in the course (1) if it does not duplicate credit counted for admission to the University or credit earned through some other testing program and (2) if it is acceptable in the student's curriculum. No official record is made of failures in these examinations, but some departments may keep records to prohibit students from retaking the examinations. General campus policy information regarding proficiency examinations can be found in the Code on Campus Affairs and Handbook of Policies and Regulations Applying to All Students.
Transfer students should consult the policy on acceptance of proficiency credit for admission purposes.
