Credit by Examination To receive credit by examination, a student must show convincing evidence of particular aptitude or knowledge in the course material. A written, oral, or performance examination is developed and administered by an instructor of the course. The examination is subject to the approval of the division director. If the student achieves satisfactory performance on the examination, a grade of "X" is recorded on the transcript. The "X" grade earns no quality points, but credit hours are given identical to the number of credit hours typically assigned to that course at Central Piedmont. For further information, see Policy 3.01 Credit by Examination. Financial Aid and Veterans Affairs do not cover credit by examination.

Credit For Prior Learning You may be able to earn Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) for college-level classes that you obtained through prior learning experiences, such as military service, fire certifications, industrial and corporate training programs, apprenticeship programs, or successful completion of standardized exams. See the Credit for Prior Learning website for more information.
