credit by
examination
红桃视频 ensures its academic integrity by awarding credit only for successful completion of a college-level course or for specified examination programs.

College Level Examination Program (CLEP), DSST (formerly known as Dantes Subject Standardized Test), Advanced Placement (AP), and Challenge Examination may not be taken as a prerequisite to a course a student is taking. A Credit by Examination Test may not be taken to replace a failed course.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP)
The AP program involves students completing college-level courses during high school and then taking standardized tests to assess whether college-level learning has occurred. 红桃视频 will award credit hours through AP programs provided that the student achieves a rating of at least a 鈥渢hree” (equivalent to a grade of 鈥淐鈥�) on each test for which credit is desired. Official AP transcripts must be requested by the prospective students from www.collegeboard.org and sent directly to 红桃视频.
CHALLENGE EXAMINATION
Students, who believe they are knowledgeable in certain subject areas and wish to receive college credit for this knowledge, may challenge the course by sitting for the Challenge Examination. Not all courses at 红桃视频 are available for students to challenge. If a CLEP exam is available for a course, the student may only take the CLEP exam and may not challenge the course. 红桃视频 will award credit hours through Challenge Examinations provided that the student achieves at least 80 percent on the test in question. The student must pay the Challenge Examination fee prior to taking the Challenge Examination.

Visit to view a list of accepted evaluation agencies. The evaluation must be completed on a course-by-course level.
Evaluation by a transcript evaluation agency provides a guide for evaluating international course work; however, 红桃视频 retains the right to determine transferability of courses and degrees. Students may need to provide 红桃视频 with additional information about coursework, if requested. To receive transfer credit for English composition, international students must take an equivalent course from an accredited institution in the United States. In some cases, transfer credit can be granted if the course work is transcripted by a college or university in the U.S.A. that sponsored the study abroad or semester at sea experience, but this situation will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
