Regulations
1. Credit cannot be earned by Challenge Examination if a student is within 15 credit hours of graduation.
2. University policy imposes limits on the number of credit hours a student may earn by Challenge or other Special Examinations. (See the Undergraduate Catalogue for details.)
3. Credit by Challenge Examination may not be earned for a course in which a student has previously received a grade. Students may not earn credit by Challenge Examination for a course in which they are currently enrolled, unless the Challenge Exam is completed prior to the eighth day of instruction (which corresponds to the Deadline to Add a Course Without a Petition).
4. Credit by Challenge Examination may not be earned for a course which is equivalent to, more elementary than, or substantially overlaps another course in which a student is currently enrolled or for which a student has already obtained credit.
5. A particular Challenge Examination may not be repeated within a year of the first attempt. Under no circumstances will a student be permitted to take a Challenge Examination for the same course more than twice.
6. Credit earned by Challenge Examination is recorded as a “P” and becomes part of the student’s academic record. Only students who have been admitted to NAU who are active during the term in which they take the Challenge Exam are able to earn credit. Post-Baccalaureate students are not able to earn credit via Challenge Exam.
I have read, understood, and will follow the regulations governing the Challenge Examination.
