Credit by Exam or Departmental Assessment
UW-La Crosse appreciates and values students' learning experiences outside of the confines of UWL's sponsored credit instruction and uses a student-centered approach to recognize, evaluate and award credit for that knowledge. Students may be awarded credit for their university-level learning through a variety of ways including but not limited to transfer coursework, credit by national exam, military experience and training, industry-certified and assessed credentials or licensures, and UWL administered prior learning assessments.
Credit by Exam or Departmental Assessment
Several academic departments have an option where a student can complete an exam or other assessment that will provide a student credit for course(s) if the student has the knowledge and skills to proficiently earn credit. Other departments allow a student to take a national exam (e.g., AP/IB/CLEP) off-site that can be used for the same purpose.
