Proficiency exams
LLCC offers credit by proficiency in selected courses. Students should contact the Registration Services office. A $10 processing fee is required for each test taken by a student, including retests. A period of one semester is required between retests.
Once a student who has earned credit by proficiency examination has paid the fee and the college per-credit-hour charge, the credit is recorded on the official transcript as proficiency credit. The number of credit hours completed is indicated as credit hours earned, but PR appears in place of a grade. However, hours earned by proficiency credit have no effect on the student's grade point average.
Acceptance of proficiency credit varies among colleges and universities.
