Test-Out and Credit-by-Exam Policy for Computer Information Systems

You may receive credit by exam for Advanced Placement Computer Science exams as follows:

• AP Computer Science Principles exam with a score of 3 or higher: CNMT 101 (3 credits)

• AP Computer Science A exam with a score of 3 or higher: CNMT 110 (4 credits). In addition, you will receive retroactive credit for CNMT 101.

Test-Out Policy

If you have appropriate programming experience but did not take an Advanced Placement exam, you may petition the department chairperson for permission to test out of CNMT 101 or CNMT 110. The request must be submitted no later than the first day of the fall or spring term during which you are enrolled to take the course you wish to test out of.

The test out exam will be written by the department chairperson and faculty member(s) who have most recently taught the course. The exam will contain questions pertaining to both programming and computing concepts and programming problems, as relevant to the learning objectives of the course. To pass, you must earn at least 70% of the available points in the exam.

Any course(s) that you successfully test out of will award credit for the corresponding course.
