Policy
Course Competency Assessment is one of the credit-by-examination options offered to students who wish to demonstrate proficiency in courses offered through the University. It can be comprised of a single or multiple instruments including classroom proficiency examinations, portfolios, or performance assessments/ projects. Faculty in the appropriate course, program, or department determines the method of assessing courses eligible for competency assessment.
Those students completing Course Competency Assessment and meeting the standards required for a grade of “C” or higher will earn credit for the course. Credit granted on the basis of a course competency assessment is entered on a student’s record without a grade and is not included in the computation of the Ferris grade point average (GPA) or graduation honors.
- A student may take a Course Competency Assessment for any course a maximum of two times.
- Prerequisites must be met before Course Competency Assessment may be considered for any course.
- Credit normally will not be awarded for any course for which the student has already earned credit or for courses below the level of a course for which the student already has credit.
- Courses such as lab science courses, workshops, special topics, seminars and directed or independent studies are excluded from Course Competency Assessment.
- Academic departments may exclude certain courses from Course Competency Assessment.
