Part 5. Credit by Examination at RCTC:
Subpart A. Purpose. RCTC students may petition to
earn credits by examination.
Subpart B. Definitions. Credit by examination can
be provided for (1) courses which are currently listed in the college
curriculum; and (2) students who are currently enrolled or have been
previously enrolled and who therefore have an RCTC transcript to which
the credits may be posted.
Subpart C. Procedures. Students will initiate a Credit
by Examination Petition with the Office of the Registrar. The position
must be approved by an academic administrator and the faculty member
who agrees to administer and evaluate the examination. Following completion
of the examination, the faculty member will report the grade. A grade
of “D” or higher will be required to receive credit for
credit by examination. Credits earned by examination will not be computed
in the student’s GPA, or count toward enrollment in the college.

specified courses as follows:
