Credit by Examination

Posted on September 8, 2022

Students enrolled in a certificate or degree program who wish to earn credit by examination should request an application form and contact information from the Office of Enrollment Services or the Testing Center.  A fee of $40 per credit is charged. Study guides for some examinations may be on reserve in the library.

Courses that are most commonly challenged for credit at GCC are:

  • BIO 126, Biology I (for waiver of pre-requisite only; credit not given)
  • CIS 140 Computer Applications and Concepts
  • FRE 101, Elementary French I
  • FRE 102, Elementary French II
  • MOM 110, Medical Terminology
  • SPA 101, Elementary Spanish I
  • SPA 102, Elementary Spanish II

Students cannot challenge a course for credit if they have failed the course at GCC, and challenge exams may only be taken one time.
