Departmental Advanced Standing Examinations
Departmental Advanced Standing Examinations
Advanced standing credit can be
earned at RSU by evaluating a student’s previous learning experiences through
testing. Most departments offer some courses by examination. Students should
consult with the Department Head offering the course of interest as to whether
it can be taken by examination. Students must be currently enrolled and complete
12 credit hours in residency at Rogers State University prior to recording the
advanced standing credit on the permanent records. Advanced standing
cannot be taken for a course previously failed.
The charge for administering an
institutional advanced standing examination is $12.00 per semester credit hour,
which must be paid prior to taking
the examination. Fee is subject to change.
Licensed
Practical Nurses (LPN) and nationally licensed paramedics (NREMTP) are eligible
to receive college credit. The number of credit hours granted is determined by
the nursing faculty and emergency medical services faculty respectively.
Qualified candidates successfully completing specified tests may earn credit.
Students must complete 12 credit hours in residency at Rogers State University
prior to recording the advanced standing credit on the permanent record. The
faculty determine the specific criteria for awarding credit for prior
educational experiences. The faculty also determine the admission and
progression policies and clinical practice experiences.
The College Board’s Advanced
Placement Program (AP) examination is available to students while enrolled in
high school. Advanced Standing Credit may be awarded if a student scores at a
level of “3” or higher. The number of credits awarded is based on the
American Council on Education Guidelines. Advanced Standing Credit may be
awarded only for courses that are taught at Rogers State University. The grade
of "P" will be placed on a student’s transcript after the completion
of 12 credit hours at RSU. A grade of “P” is GPA neutral.
