Credit by Examination
Students may demonstrate evidence of college-level achievement through the use of nationally standardized tests. Competency to write these examinations may have been gained through intensive preparation in high school, extensive reading in a particular field, or other types of formal or informal preparation. A student may not repeat by proficiency testing a course that has been previously taken or failed at NDSU or another accredited institution. High school transcripts and student-issued grade reports are not considered official for purposes of awarding credit by examination. Credit by examination is not considered NDSU residential credit.
Score reports must be sent directly from the awarding agency/board to the following address at NDSU:
North Dakota State University
Office of Registration and Records
Dept 5210, P.O. Box 6050
Fargo, ND 58108-6050
