Building an Academic Career: Requirements,
Policies and Special Opportunities
Students sometimes have the option of studying independently and successfully passing a special examination prepared by the instructor of a course in order to be granted credit for a regular Earlham course. Students pursuing this option are not permitted to sit
in on the regular course before taking the examination.
-
Permission of the instructor must be obtained and the fee paid before such examination is given.
-
Requests for credit by evaluation must be submitted to the Registrar.
These are reviewed by the Associate Academic Dean and appropriate departments.
Such credit is considered if the academic work is equivalent to a regular
Earlham College course.
-
Special forms for credit by examination and evaluation are available in the Registrar's Office.
-
A fee of one-half of the full-time tuition per credit is charged and must be paid before the exam is taken or credit recorded.
