Challenge Examinations

Students may challenge a course, provided they are not enrolled in that course, by taking a comprehensive examination. Students must first meet with a Pathway Advisor, then with their appropriate academic dean. No more than one challenge of a particular course will be arranged during any one semester. The cost is $45.00 per credit hour and payment must be made prior to the examination. Successfully completed challenge exams will count towards applicable CCA courses, but may not transfer outside of CCA. Please consult a CCA Pathway Advisor or your transfer school for additional information.
