College Proficiency Examinations

Students may request College Proficiency Examinations for courses for which they believe they have mastery of the content. Student initiated College Proficiency Examinations are generally not available for noncredit, remedial courses and credit-bearing courses so–designated by an academic department. Students may apply for a College Proficiency Examination at any time during the semester unless they are currently enrolled in that course. In such an instance, the examination must be administered and graded before the end of the add/drop period.

Students who take the IQ University Placement Examinations may not take Proficiency Examinations for courses at a lower level than the course placement based on that Placement Exam.

Application for IQ University Proficiency Examinations must be made to the Department Chairperson or other appropriate college official.
