Credit by Examination
UTRGV offers college credit by examination to qualified students through a variety of approved examinations. A student may receive up to 30 hours of undergraduate credit by examination through the following programs or methods:
- American College Testing (ACT) Program
- Departmental Credit by Examination
- College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB)
- Achievement Tests
- Advanced Placement (AP) Tests
- International Baccalaureate (IB) exams
- College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
Test scores must be sent directly from the testing agency; student or hand-carried copies are not accepted.
Credit is posted on the student’s permanent record (transcript) when the student officially enrolls at UTRGV. Credit by exam is accepted as credit only (a grade of CR) and does not affect the student’s total GPA. Unsuccessful attempts to earn credit by examination are not recorded on the student’s official transcript. Policies on credit earned by examination are reviewed every two years in conjunction with the publication of a new catalog.
