Transfer Credit
Casper College accepts credit earned in other institutions of higher
education if the institution is accredited by a regional accrediting agency.
If a student presents a transcript from an institution of higher education
which is not accredited by a regional association, the college accepts
credit which is generally accepted by the accrediting authority listed in
the "Annual Report on Transfer Credit Practices of Selected Educational
Institutions," published by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars
and Admission Officers.
military service Credit
"The Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed
Services," published by the American Council of Education (ACE), is used
to determine credit for military training and experience.
"The National Guide to Credit Recommendations for Noncollegiate
Courses," also published by ACE, is used to determine credit in exceptional
cases.
The college reserves the right to make an independent determination
of equivalency of courses or to require departmental examinations and
evaluations in all cases.
Credit for one semester of the physical education requirement for
graduation will be granted to a student who presents to the Registrar's
office a Report of Discharge (DD Form 214) establishing active duty of 181
days or more, but less than one year and one day. Credit for two semesters
of the physical education requirement for graduation will be granted to a
student who presents such evidence of active duty of more than one year.
Credit by Examination
General Policy
Each academic department, will identify those courses, if any, for which
credit may be earned by examination. The challenge examinations in those
courses identified may be conducted under either of the following testing
programs: departmental examination, CEEB-AP or CLEP programs.
To qualify for a credit by examination option, the student must be
registered as a certificate or degree candidate at Casper College during the
semester in which credit is to be awarded.
Students may not earn credit by examination in a course if they have
earned credit previously in a higher level course in the subject area.
A student may not challenge a course to remove a failure or to raise a
passing grade already received in the course.
A student may only select one credit by examination option and may
only attempt that option once for any specific course for which he is
attempting to earn credit. However, credit by examination is recommended
as a means to obtain credit for courses previously taken at institutions from
which credit is not transferable.
For further information see the Director of Student Success Services or
the Student Success Specialist, Gateway Building, Rm. 347 or 339.
Departmental Examination
For department exams, adhere to the following four statements:
1. The student will file an Intent to Challenge a Course form with the
Registrar and the appropriate department head which identifies the specific
course for which credit by examination is sought, and pay any required fee.
2. Courses may only be challenged during a semester in which they are
being taught and must be taken prior to mid-term.
3. The student must arrange for the departmental examination with the
appropriate department head.
4. The instructor assigned to the course will report the appropriate
grade for the challenge exam, S or U, to the registrar and the appropriate
department head.
