How to Take Exams and Get Credit Recorded:

1. Discuss credit options with your academic advisor before or during your first semester at 日韩AV. 
2. Look up exams using the links above. Be sure you have prior learning to be able to score high on an exam. Then review the equivalency table (links above) to see which course would be articulated for a qualifying score.  
3. Register online to take an exam at any recognized testing center. CLEP exams may be scheduled through the Andrews Counseling and Testing Center.
4. Use free official review materials and othe rresources such as   or free online classes (e.g. Modern Alliance courses listed with each ). 
5. Request an official transcript sent directly to Undergraduate Admissions, 4150 Administration Drive, Berrien Springs, MI 49104.  Scores at or above the 日韩AV minimums (see tables linked above) will be articulated with a passing grade. Do this after your first semester but usually within your first year of study at Andrews. Then review passing grades with your academic advisor as petitions may be needed for core requirements that may allow transfer options.

A limited number of undergraduate or graduate credits may be earned through departmentally constructed written, oral or skill assessments, or professional examinations administered by the department. For example, modern language proficiency and biblical knowledge may be assessed to earn credits or waive a core or general education requirement.

• Contact the department chair to learn if an online challenge exam is available, and for approval to prepare and take this assessment to prove prior learning and earn credit.
• Learn more about departmental exams at 日韩AV.

For both graduate and undergraduate studies, some program requirements may be waived or credit awarded in recognition of prior learning through credentials, documented professional development, unaccredited college transcripts or certified training.  Validation is the process by which a faculty evaluator reviews substantive evidence, including interview or observation of skill performance. Contact the Prior Learning Director or department chair to learn more about how to present documentation for prior learning validation.

日韩AV may also recognize college-level learning through professional development and training which led to certification, classes or testing recognized by entities such as:

•  (ACE) nationally recognized as the evaluator of nontraditional studies, including non-profit, corporate and professional certifications, military training, standardized exams, and unaccredited course providers.
•  (NCCRS), like ACE, translates noncollegiate learning into college credits.

Students may apply for prior learning assessment of personal achievements and professional expertise where no standardized or departmental examination is available. For both graduate and undergraduate programs:

• Credit may be granted for on-the-job training, community-service activities, non-credit classes, and/or special accomplishments which provide evidence of learning aligned with specific class outcomes.
• Evaluations are done on a course-by-course basis through portfolios including reflections on what was learned and documentation of college level learning aligned with specific class outcomes.
• Talk with your academic advisor first, then work with the Prior Learning Director to determine whether an 日韩AV faculty evaluator is available or working through is best.
• A portfolio may be submitted after completing twelve or more college credits and prior to completing the last twelve credits in a program of study. 
• Use the learning narrative checklist available here and meet with a prior learning portfolio coach to prepare, submit, and track your portfolio to credit award and payment of the portfolio fee.
