Any student accepted by Fisher College may be awarded credits toward his
or her degree or certificate by demonstrating his or her knowledge and
competency through the nationally recognized College Level Examination
Program (CLEP) or Advanced Placement (AP) examinations. Credit will not
be awarded if equivalent coursework has been completed either prior to,
or later than the examination. It is the student's responsibility to
arrange to take the examination at any of the national testing centers
and to provide Fisher College official documentation of their scores.
Credit by examination will be awarded based on the recommendations from
the American Council on Education (ACE). Please note that credits
awarded through examination are categorized as "transfer" and are,
therefore, subject to transfer credit policies outlined in this catalog.
For more information regarding minimum scores required and potential
amount of credits to be awarded, please contact the Office of the
Registrar.
The College also recognizes that there are many different
credit-by-examination programs available throughout the country. Credit
may be awarded for other programs if the exam is recognized by the
American Council on Education, and the Council has published
recommendations for the awarding of credit. The College Registrar and
Campus Registrars maintain a list of available examinations and their
Fisher College equivalencies.
Fisher College awards credit for EN 101 and EN 102 (a total of six
credits) for a score of 50 or higher (the score recommended by the
American Council on Education) on CLEP’s College Composition test.
The College awards credit for EN 101 (a total of three credits) for a
score of 50 or higher on the multiple-choice module of the College
Composition Modular version. |
