The University of Indianapolis offers students a number of opportunities to demonstrate prior learning experience through examination. Three different types of testing programs are available: National testing programs designed for the purpose of awarding credit University tests designed for the purpose of awarding credit University tests designed for the purpose of determining proficiency or placement

The Office of the Registrar, using the prescribed guidelines and the advice of the deans and department chairs, awards credit. General guidelines for the granting of credit by examination at the University of Indianapolis are as follows: 1. National or university examinations may be taken prior to or during enrollment at the University of

Indianapolis. 2. Credit that a student has been awarded by examination is recorded on his or her permanent record during

his or her initial enrollment (new student) or at the time of testing (currently enrolled student). 3. No letter grade is assigned for credit awarded by examination; therefore, this credit is not used in

calculating a student’s grade point average. 4. The student may not take an examination in a subject in which he or she has had a sequential course. 5. Dual credit will not be awarded: The student may not take an examination in a subject in which he or she

has already taken the equivalent college-level course and received a passing grade. 6. The student may not take an examination in any subject to remove or replace a letter grade in an

equivalent college-level course completed at, or transferred into, the University of Indianapolis.

National Testing Programs The five national credit-by-examination programs in which the University of Indianapolis participates are: College Board Advanced Placement Program (AP) Educational Testing Services College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) Educational Testing Service Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DSST) International Baccalaureate (IB) Excelsior College Examination (ECE)

The faculty sets general guidelines for participation in each of these programs (see above) and the deans and department chairs determine which tests will be accepted and which UIndy courses are equivalent to them. Individual testing programs are described below:
