(A)
Policy statement
and purpose
This university policy is part of the
undergraduate catalog. The undergraduate catalog provides university academic
policies and information about program requirements. The undergraduate catalog
is updated each semester and can be found at http://www.bgsu.edu/catalog/academic-policies.html
. Colleges and departments may have additional or more
specific requirements or policies that relate to an individual program.
Students are advised to become familiar with the undergraduate catalog as well
as specific requirements and policies related to their degree
program.
(B)
Policy
Advanced standing may be achieved in
six ways:
(1)
Demonstrating appropriate achievement on BGSU placement
tests, which leads to exemption from courses but not credit.
(2)
Passing an
examination administered by an academic department of the university (see
credit by examination).
(3)
Completing a college-level course in high school and
earning a prescribed grade in an advanced placement examination administered in
the high school through the college entrance examination board (CEEB). This
leads to college course credit and/or exemption. (For more information, see
advanced placement.)
(4)
Attaining appropriate scores on specific CLEP subject
examinations. This leads to credit as approved by appropriate academic
departments. (Not all academic departments accept credit for completion of CLEP
Examinations.) For more information on CLEP subject examinations, contact
transfer evaluation services in the office of registration and records. For
information on scheduling a CLEP subject examination, contact the counseling
center (see CLEP).
(5)
Passing a higher-level course in sequence with a grade
of "C" or above and thereby earning credit for lower-level sequence courses in
prescribed departments.
(6)
Admitted students with considerable work/life
experience matching specific course content may be eligible for credit through
writing a portfolio about what they have learned. Students will be required to
complete an interview with the director of adult learner services and a
preparatory English course to participate in portfolio assessment.
