Challenging a Course In addition to the Advanced Placement Program and the College Level Examination Program, both of which may release actual units of credit toward graduation, it is possible for a student to challenge a particular course or requirement. If the student demonstrates by his performance on a comprehensive examination that he has a good grasp of the course content he can be granted exemption from taking the course but no units of credit will be allowed. For further information see the Dean of Admissions and Records.
