Credit by Examination

Southwest Minnesota State University offers credit by examination in many academic disciplines. Academic units have the responsibility for establishing credit by examination procedures in their respective areas and for establishing the credits which are acceptable in the evaluation of the examination. Students may contact the chairperson of the academic unit in which the course is offered to determine if such an examination is available. If it is, the student should make necessary arrangements and then contact the Registration and Records Office for complete details concerning the procedures to follow. A $25.00 per credit fee is charged for each examination.
