Subject Examinations are available in 32 different subjects for credit in equivalent courses taught at Weber State College. The fee for the general examinations is $15 for one test or $30 for two or more. The fee for each subject examination is $15. If a student takes from two to five general examinations and one subject examination, his total fee would be $45. The fee may be paid by check or money at the time application for the test is made at the Counseling Center. Students who are interested in taking the tests should register at the Counseling and Testing Center (Library, Room 33). The subject examinations will be given on Thursday of the third week of each month and the general examinations, on Saturday of the third week of each month. Students need to register two weeks prior to taking the examinations. 4. Special Examination—A student may take special examinations in courses not covered by the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), or the Advanced Placement Program. A student must be officially registered at the time the request for examination is made. A special examination cannot be given in any course the student has taken as a no-credit or audit course. Credits earned by special examination are not considered part of the residence requirement. A maximum of 25 quarter hours of credit can be acquired by special examination. Credit will be given only with approval of the head of the department concerned. A student may earn a maximum of fifteen hours of credit in one subject area at a single sitting. The examination sitting may not be for more than three courses in that subject. The fee for a single sitting is $15.00. All special examinations will be graded on a Credit/No-Credit basis.
