Registrar: Advanced Placement

VI. Advanced Placement

[A] Students may challenge courses and/or receive advanced placement with credit upon permission from their academic dean and on certification from the head of the department which offers the course. Courses may be challenged only once. Courses may not be challenged in which the student has been previously enrolled at the University of Portland.*

[B] Credit may be granted for advanced placement for those courses required in the student’s major program.*

[C] Students who have earned 60 or more semester hours of college credit cannot gain additional credit through the College Level Examination program (CLEP) general tests. They may receive credit for satisfactory scores in specialized subject examinations.

*Forms for requesting approval to challenge courses and for certifying credit are available in the Office of the Registrar, and must be presented to the proper academic dean before examination is taken.
